How To Make Sausage Rolls

1. Cook Bacon and Veggies: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon for 2 to 3 minutes until just starting to crisp. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Mix Filling: Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Add ground pork, ground beef, panko, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, fennel, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands until fully combined.

3. Prepare Pastry: Flour your surface. Cut puff pastry in half and lay one half in front of you. Spoon 1/5 of the filling down the center and shape into a compact log.

4. Roll and Seal: Brush one edge of pastry with beaten egg. Roll up tightly and press to seal, placing the roll seam-side down. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.

5. Slice and Glaze: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment. Slice each roll into four party-sized pieces or two full-sized rolls. Brush tops with egg wash.

6. Bake and Serve: Arrange rolls on baking sheets and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating trays halfway. Pastry should be golden and crisp. Let cool slightly and serve warm with ketchup or tomato sauce.

For a fresh and flavorful side, Garlicky Herb Red Potato Salad brings bright herbs and a tangy bite that balances the richness of the rolls. Buttery Mashed Cauliflower is a creamy, low-carb option that keeps things light yet satisfying.

Macaroni Salad adds a cool, creamy contrast and is perfect for feeding a crowd. Pair with a dipping sauce like spicy mustard or tomato chutney to round things out.
