Ingredients:
Pkt of pre-made puff pastry, 1 pkt of sausage meat (but I tend to use two) available at all high street supermarkets, although I’ve never seen it in Aldi!! 1 small chopped onion, sesame seeds (decoration) Egg for coating
I add my own extra filling .. .. .. so you decide what you would like to add to the sausage meat, it could be any of the following: ApplePaxo stuffing black pudding Haggis, Chilli, Garlic, Cranberry sauce (nice festive option) Chutney (any variety) The list is endless, enjoy experimenting!!
Oven fan oven 160 c/ gas mark 3 Approx: half and hour
Method :
Mix sausage meat, onion and what ever extra filling you desire! Put to one side whilst you prepare the pastry. Roll pastry into a rectangle, I tend to roll thinly as to prevent a ‘soggy bottom’. Place sausage meat mixture in the middle, this needs to be a smaller rectangle, so the pastry can be wrapped over in order to form the plait. Cut four squares, one from each corner. Then fold the two end pieces of pastry over the sausage meat. The two long lengths need slicing. Cut approx 10 strips and then alternatively wrap one from each side over the sausage meat. This forms the plait. Once plaited place on a baking sheet and coat the top with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook until golden. This is nice both hot and cold. I serve it with a range of things, such as salad and chutney or potatoes and gravy.
