Festive Sausage Roll Wreath
This wreath is sure to please during the festive period!
Ingredients
- 1 pkt ready rolled puff pastry
- 6 fat sausages
- 25 g chorizo finely chopped – optional
- 25 g breadcrumbs
- 1 pinch chilli flakes or more according to taste
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 zest of orange or orange essence: 1-2 drops
- 1/2 tsp dried sage or small bunch fresh sage – finely chopped
- 1 egg beaten
- sweet chilli sauce (to serve)
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 210C (fan oven 190C), and line a large baking tray with parchment paper or foil.
- For the filling, remove the sausages from their skins. Mix them in a bowl together with the chorizo, breadcrumbs, salt, chilli flakes, sage and orange zest. Once mixed, set aside.
- Open out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Cut in half lengthways, so you have two long pieces of pastry.
- Now roll the sausagemeat out, also on a floured surface, into two rolls. Each roll should be roughly the length of each of the pastry rectangles.
- Place one roll of sausagemeat onto the centre of one of the pastry rectangles. With a pastry brush, paint a line of egg-wash along the long edge of one side of the pastry. Lift the other long end of pastry,and roll it over the sausagemeat and onto the egg-washed side.Keep rolling until you have one long sausage roll.
- Do the same with the other pastry rectangle and sausagemeat roll.
- Place one long sausage roll onto the large baking sheet and shape into a semi circle. Place the second roll onto the sheet, arranging so as to complete the circle. Join the pastry where the semicircles meet, as best you can, using more egg-wash.
- Using the leftover pastry, cut out leaf or bauble shapes and place onto the wreath using egg-wash to stick. You can cover the join of the two ends with these shapes.
- Cut the wreath into bitesize sausage rolls along the circumference of the circle, taking care to leave the inner circle of pastry of the wreath still connected.
- Egg wash the whole wreath and then cut diagonal slits in each mini sausage roll.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
- Serve warm or cold with some sweet chilli sauce.
