Sausage Rolls


I made these sausage rolls for Hogmany and the girls loved them, said they were better than Banjo's so I am glad I wrote everything down while making them.


Delicious flaky crispy pastry with a moist filling Jodie took some to work for lunch the next day.


Ingredients

500g sausage mince
1/2 carrot, grated
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper to season
2 sheets thawed puff pastry

Method

1.  Preheat oven to 210°C fan forced.

2.  Grate carrot, removing any excess liquid by squeezing the carrot with paper towels. Transfer to a bowl. Add chopped onion, sausage mince, tomato ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, lightly season with salt & pepper. Mix together until well combined.

3.  Cut each pastry sheet in half. Shape some mince mixture into sausage shape, place along 1 side of pastry half. Brush one edge with egg, roll up pastry to meet the egg washed edge and to enclose filling. Cut into quarters. Place seam side down onto prepared baking tray. Repeat with remaining mince and pastry. Brush pastry with egg wash.

4.  Place sausage rolls onto a lightly greased non stick baking tray, (don't line tray with foil or baking paper). Brush tops with egg wash.

5.  Cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden, puffed and cooked through, rotating tray half way through cooking for even colour.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious.  A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

  I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see  here  and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked  bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...
