Meat sausage rolls are a delightful and savory treat that combine the rich flavors of ground beef with the flaky, buttery texture of puff pastry. These rolls are perfect for parties, picnics, or as a delicious snack any time of the day. With a few simple ingredients, you can make these mouthwatering sausage rolls that will surely impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cook the Onion and Meat:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Carefully pour off any excess grease from the beef mixture.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, fresh parsley, and bread crumbs. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
4. Prepare the Pastry:
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, lay out the puff pastry sheets.
- Cut each sheet in half to create four rectangular pieces (approx. 10x12 inches).
5. Fill and Roll:
- Place a generous amount of the meat mixture along one long edge of each pastry rectangle.
- Brush the opposite edge of the pastry with beaten egg to help seal.
- Carefully roll the pastry from the meat-filled edge to the egg-brushed edge, sealing the meat inside.
- Repeat for all pastry rectangles.
6. Cut and Glaze:
- Cut each rolled pastry log into roughly 2-inch pieces. You should get about 6 pieces from each log, making a total of 24 sausage rolls.
- Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg to give them a golden brown glaze.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Serve:
- Allow the sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to let the cooked filling cool before wrapping it in pastry to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Chill the assembled sausage rolls in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape better.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sausage rolls into even pieces to ensure they bake uniformly.
- Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with an egg wash for a beautiful golden color and a shiny finish.
- Experiment with additional seasonings and spices to customize the filling to your taste.
Congratulations, you've made delicious meat sausage rolls! These savory and flaky pastries are great for any occasion and guaranteed to be a hit. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own. Don't forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
