Recipe: Sausage Rolls

Well, ladies and gentlemen- It's horrible in Illinois. It's freezing and is well below zero. The snow is deep, and the windchill is like negative 40. Keith just ventured out of the house for the first time since Saturday afternoon. Anyway, we have spent the time doing work, watching movies, cooking food and enjoying each others company.

We have been cooking quite a bit in the new year, even though some of our meals has consisted of chicken nuggets and mac and cheese, we have had some gems in there. Keith made a really tasty sausage rolls dish, which was seriously delicious and reminded me of my summer in Scotland. I also was totally impressed with Keith's cooking ability. Anyway, let's get to the recipe.



Recipe: Sausage Rolls

What you need:
One package of puff pastry
1 lb of ground beef
1/2 pound of pork sausage (I got Italian Pork Sausages from Trader Joes)
1 and 1/4 teaspoons of salt
3/4 tsp of black pepper
3/4 ground coriander
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 beaten egg to brush pastry with

So, here's how:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut open around three sausages and mix them in with the ground beef. Add the seasonings and the breadcrumbs along with 1/2 cup of water to meat mixtures and blend together. Place defrosted puff pastry rolls on cutting board and cut into rectangle pieces. Place meat and spice mixture into the puff pastry, closer to one side, fold together and crimp sides with a fork to hold them together. Make three to four slits in the pastry dough. Brush with egg. Bake for roughly 25 minutes. Check on the meat to make sure it cooked all of the way.

We ended up with roughly six to eight sausage rolls from two sheets of puff pastry dough (or one box). and Boy, they were DELICIOUS.

Sorry, we don't have more photos. You just have to trust me they were so good.

Stay warm you guys.
