Happy Friday everyone! I hope you enjoy the recipe for this week… Chilli and Paprika Sausage Rolls! As always, I’ve created a short video to help show some of the process!

PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE AN ADULT SUPPORT/HELP WITH USING THE OVEN, MICROWAVE OR WHEN HANDLING HOT TRAYS. AN ADULT WILL NEED TO SUPPORT OR SUPERVISE WHEN USING KNIVES.

400-500g of sausage meat

Ready rolled puff pastry

A pinch of salt and pepper

1 beaten egg in a bowl

For the following herbs and spices… use ½ or 1 teaspoon.

Garlic Granules

Onion powder

Chilli flakes

Chilli powder

Paprika

 Set your oven to 200 degrees, 180 degree (Fan) or gas mark 6.

1. Set up two baking trays with baking paper. Split your ready rolled pastry in half and one half on each tray. Set these aside until later.
2. Place the sausage meat into a bowl and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
3. Add the garlic and onion granules to the mixture. Mix again.
4. Add the chilli flakes, chilli powder and paprika to the mixture. Give the meat a final mix before forming the sausage rolls.

NOTE: If you do not want to use chilli or paprika, you could try Cajun powder or even a mild curry powder.

5. Place half of the mixture onto one half of the pastry – in a line in the middle. You may need to spread this along the length of the pastry.
6. Cover the edges with egg – I use a pastry brush for this part.
7. Fold over the pastry so that it is covering the sausage meat in the middle. Crimp the edges by pressing down with a fork.
8. Cut the sausage roll into 8. Move them so they have space between them on the tray.
9. Using a knife, make a slit on the top of the sausage roll.
10. Use the beaten egg to egg-wash the top of the sausage roll.
11. Repeat all these steps using the other half of the pastry.
12. Place the baking trays into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.

If you decide to make these sausage rolls, please do send an e-mail to Eloise.jones@taw.org.uk – I would love to see how they turn out!

Stay tuned for another recipe next Friday!
