Ingredients:

  • 200g bacon, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced 
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small carrot, coarsely grated
  • 500g pork mince
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 x frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • For the glaze: either milk or an egg, lightly beaten
  • Optional: sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Fry chopped bacon in a pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until beginning to crisp up. Add the onion and grated carrot, along with two cloves of finely diced garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes until onion is soft.
  2. Spoon into a large bowl. Add in the pork mince, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, sauces and salt and pepper. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  3. Lay out thawed puff pastry sheet on a chopping board. To make small sausage rolls – cut the pastry sheet in half. Spoon mixture into a log lengthways, pressing mixture firmly together.
  4. Dab the edges of the pastry with milk/beaten egg and roll the pastry log over, making sure the seam side is pressed together. Lay seam-side down on the lined baking tray.
  5. Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with milk/beaten egg, make slits for the steam to escape, and sprinkle on sesame seeds (optional).
  6. Bake for approx. 20-35 mins depending on size of sausage rolls, until golden and the meat is cooked through.
