Hidden Veggie Sausage Rolls

Recipe

The humble Sausage Roll is one of my favourite childhood cafeteria (aka. tuck shop in Australia) snacks. Originally a staple in British cuisine, this version has been updated with extra vegetables in it. Don't worry, we've hidden the veggies so picky kids won't even notice. It can be enjoyed as a snack or paired with a salad for a great lunch!

Author's Notes

To make this recipe completely vegetarian, substitute the protein with 8oz of fresh or thawed frozen spinach and 13oz of firm ricotta. To this mix, you can also add up to 1 cup of your favourite type of shredded cheese to make it extra cheesy!

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
Start by peeling and grating the Carrot (1) and Yellow Zucchini (1) with a box grater.
step 3
Mince the Onion (1) and Garlic (4 cloves).
step 4
Melt Butter (2 Tbsp) in a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the grated carrots and zucchini. Cook until the vegetables start to soften, for about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan.
step 5
To the same pot, add onion. Cook until soft, 5-7 minutes.
step 6
Add in garlic and season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 7
Add in the Fresh Thyme (2 Tbsp) and Fresh Parsley (2 Tbsp) and cook until fragrant.
step 8
Add the cooked vegetables back into the onion mixture.
step 9
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture together in a food processor until chunky puree forms (you can also use a regular blender). Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 10
To create the filling, in a bowl combine the Ground Pork (1 lb) and the vegetable onion mixture together. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 11
Place a Puff Pastry (2 sheets) over a surface dusted with All-Purpose Flour (as needed) and roll out into a rectangle with a floured rolling pin until it is around 5 millimeters (1/4-inch) thick and around 25cm (10 inches) wide and about 15cm (6 inches) long.
step 12
Place half the filling in a log across the long end of the pastry. Brush the inside of the pastry with a little bit of Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1/2) and roll once to enclose the mixture, pressing down lightly to seal. Trim the excess pastry and discard. Repeat with the other pastry and filling.
step 13
Place sausage rolls onto a lined sheet pan and brush with Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1/2) before covering with Black and White Sesame Seeds (to taste).
step 14
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
step 15
You can either serve these rolls whole on the dinner table to be sliced up along with a salad, or cut into smaller pieces to feed a crowd. Either way, they're great with some Tomato Relish (to taste) for dipping.
