Pork, Onion and Apple Sausage Rolls Recipe

How to make Pork, Onion and Apple Sausage Rolls

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease 2 large oven trays,
  2. To make filling, heat oil in a medium-sized frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onions are soft. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, tear the bread into small pieces. Place in a large bowl. Pour over milk. Stand 5 minutes. Squeeze and discard excess milk from the bread. Return bread to the bowl.
  4. Squeeze and discard the excess moisture from apple. Add apples to the bread and onion. Add mince, parsley and egg. Season. Use your hands to mix well.
  5. Place pastry sheets on a clean surface. Cut in half crossways. Spoon a heaped ½ cup of filling down the long side of each piece of pastry. Roll up to enclose.
  6. Brush tops with egg. Sprinkle with seeds. Cut each roll in half crossways.
  7. Place on oven trays, allowing room between each. Bake 50 minutes. Serve with sauce.

Tip: Squeezing out excess moisture from apple will ensure the pastry is crisp. Partially thawed pastry is much easier to work with than fully thawed pastry. Remove 1 piece at a time from the freezer and stand for 3-5 minutes (depending upon temperature of the day) on the bench before cutting and rolling.

Tip: Sausage rolls can be frozen before cooking. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 180°C oven.
