Watch the video for inspiration on the next steps, as this is a trick you’ll want to learn!
- Wrap the ingredients in cling film tightly
- Using your index finger and thumb to take a line of cling film
- As you let the cylinder dangle and use gravity and the weight and sway of the pork to naturally tighten the cling film
- Place the compact sausage mix on a puff pastry and roll slowly to cover. Remember to pinch the sides at each end to unsure the mix is kept tightly wrapped
- At this point, you and the children have a chance to freestyle – using a little office knife, create a little pattern in the leftover puff pastry and place on top.
- Leave to set in the fridge for an hour
- To finish, beat the egg in a separate bowl and brush the sausage roll with egg wash
- Place the sausage roll in an oven at 180° until golden brown (20-25 mins)
Serve with some salad and something tangy and you’ve got an absolutely delicious packed lunch, or a quick dinner for the whole family. Enjoy!
