Sausage Rolls

1 hr Serves 10

A recipe from Estelle Human. These are the sausage rolls that disappear first at any gathering — a warmly spiced beef filling in crisp, golden pastry.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped or grated
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 cups flour (for the pastry, or use ready-made puff pastry)
  • 2 eggs (1 for the filling, 1 beaten for egg wash)

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper, and 1 egg. Mix well until evenly seasoned.

  3. 3

    Roll out your pastry into long rectangles. Spoon the beef filling in a line down the centre of each.

  4. 4

    Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edge, then cut into individual rolls.

  5. 5

    Place seam-side down on the tray and brush the tops with the beaten egg.

  6. 6

    Bake for approximately 30–40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the filling is cooked through.

Notes

Ready-rolled puff pastry makes these quick for a weeknight; homemade shortcrust from the flour gives a sturdier, more traditional roll. Serve warm with chutney or tomato sauce.
