Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely diced onion, 1 finely diced carrot, 1 finely diced celery stalk, and 1 minced garlic clove. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine 1 lb sausage meat, cooked vegetables, 1/4 cup thawed peas, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, mixing well.
  3. Step 3: Roll out two 8 oz sheets of thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. Divide sausage mixture evenly along the long edge of each pastry sheet.
  4. Step 4: Roll the pastry over the filling tightly, sealing edges with 1 beaten egg. Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Step 5: Brush the tops with remaining beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: While rolls bake, make tomato sauce by simmering 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt over low heat for 10 minutes until thickened.
  7. Step 7: Serve sausage rolls warm with the tangy tomato sauce for dipping.
