Indulge in this simple and enjoyable Sausage Roll recipe featuring our renowned handmade Black Pudding.
Prep time: 45 mins. Cooking time: 20-25 mins. Serves: depends what length you want. We cut about 10 small ones.
Ingredients:
1 x 320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
400g sausage meat, or sausages (skins removed). We recommend local butchers Puddledub.
1x tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2x tsp thyme leaves
1x tsp sea salt
1x tsp black pepper
1 large garlic clove, crushed or 1x tsp of garlic salt
2 medium eggs, beaten separately. We recommend local Gloagburn eggs.
200g The Farmers Son Black Pudding chubb, casing removed
1 apple
plain flour, to dust
½-1 tsp nigella seeds
Method:
Remove the puff pastry from the fridge to come to room temperature. Put the sausage meat, herbs, salt, pepper, garlic and 1 beaten egg into a large bowl (see below).
Crumble in the black pudding. Peel skin off apple and grate into bowl, discarding the core. Use clean hands to mix together well. If you want to check the seasoning is to your taste, fry off a little bit in a pan before tasting it.
Dust a work surface with flour and unroll the pastry. Roll out further so that the sheet becomes about 2cm wider and longer. Then cut lengthways into two even strips.
Split the sausage mixture between the two strips of pastry, set just off centre in a long log. Leaving a gap at each side length ways (see pic below).
Lightly brush beaten egg down one side of each pastry length then roll the opposite side over to meet it, being careful not to break the pastry, and press down so that the pastry sticks together.
Cut each log into whatever sizes of sausage rolls you prefer. Place on a lined baking tray, spaced apart. Brush with beaten egg then chill for 30 minutes in the fridge or flash freeze for 10 minutes to set the shape.
Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Brush the sausage rolls again with beaten egg, sprinkle with a few nigella seeds for extra crunch and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are piping hot and a beautiful golden brown!
Cool slightly before serving warm, or let them cool completely before packing up to enjoy cold on a picnic.
