Ingredients
FILLING
- 7 ounces bacon minced or finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 small carrot finely shredded/grated
- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- 8 ounces ground pork mince
- 8 ounces ground beef mince
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch cracked pepper
ASSEMBLE
- 2 1/2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
Instructions
FILLING
- Fry bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until just starting to crisp and bacon releases grease. Add onion, celery and carrot to the pan, sauté for 2 minutes or until veggies have softened. Sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).Transfer to bowl and let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- Add remaining FILLING ingredients to the bowl and mix well using your hands.
ASSEMBLE
- Lightly flour a work bench. Cut one pastry sheet in half and lay one half down in front of you.
- Spoon 1/5th of the filling down the middle of the sheet and press/shape into a compact log.
- Brush edge of pastry with egg then roll up. Lightly press/seal on the edge with egg wash and arrange seam-side down.
BAKE
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease with nonstick cooking oil spray.
- Slice each log into four equal pieces for party-sized sausage rolls, or two pieces for long full-sized sausage rolls. Brush the tops with egg wash.
- Arrange rolls on baking sheets and bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating baking sheets around halfway through cook time to ensure they bake evenly. The pastry should be crispy and golden brown.
- Let cool to the touch. Serve hot (or warm) with ketchup/tomato sauce.
