Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine 1 lb sausagemeat, 1 small finely chopped onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Step 2: Roll out 2 puff pastry sheets and cut each into 2 equal rectangles. Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the pastry rectangles, shaping into logs along the center.
  3. Step 3: Brush the edges of pastry with 1 beaten large egg, fold over the sausage meat, and seal by pressing edges firmly. Brush the tops with remaining beaten egg.
  4. Step 4: Bake on a lined baking tray for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, make tomato chutney by combining 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp mustard seeds, and 1/4 tsp chili flakes in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes until thickened.
  6. Step 6: Serve the sausage rolls warm with the tangy tomato chutney on the side.
