Whenever we head back to England for a couple of weeks I always have a list of food to eat. All the foods we can’t get stateside. Fish and chips, cornish pasties, chocolates, pork pies, and sausage rolls! Not to mention the crumbles my MIL makes. Surprise, surprise I usually gain a few pounds and then have to Zumba like crazy. But it’s worth it. 🙂
We had friends over a few nights ago and I made sausage rolls as finger food. I don’t make it often because there are only so many Zumba classes I can take! But these are super easy to make and very yummy.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
To start with chop half an onion and saute in melted butter.
Once the onions are soft let them cool a bit. In a mixing bowl add about a pound of ground pork, some fennel seeds, salt and pepper, oregano and basil.
Freshly grate parmesan cheese. About 3/4 cup will do and add to the bowl.
Add the onions then mix. Don’t be shy dig in with your hands! They will clean up. 🙂
Roll out some puff pastry. One of these days I’ll learn how to make it from scratch but until then store bought it is. Place a line of sausage onto the pastry.
Roll it once to surround the sausage and then use a knife to cut the pastry. Cut the roll in half and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and flaky and the sausage is cooked through.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
I’ll be on the road this week so it will be a bit before I do my next post. See you soon!
Treadmill, here I come!! Because I definitely want to make these. So easy and they look so good! I may have to dip them in some marinara too 🙂
I’d be in trouble without exercise! 🙂
Um, YES. 🙂
These look fantastic!!

Thanks. I hope you try them. 🙂 My problem is only eating just one. I fail every time.
Haha. That IS a problem. A good problem for your taste buds, but maybe not as much for the waist. Oh well, it happens. 🙂
I have no will power when it comes to good food. Sigh.
haha! 🙂
You keep cranking out the yummies. I would always, always rather work out hard and skip dieting.:)
Thanks! Yes, I couldn’t do salads all the time. I love food too much!
Excellent, I’ve always wanted to know how to make these, I know they’ll taste a million times better than shop made ones! Thank you!
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy them.
O’ Yum do those look good:)
And they taste good as leftovers as well….
finger licking goodness!
I was inspired to make this after your sausage post! 🙂
I have never made these. You have inspired me now 🙂
I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
What a great idea for sausage! I love it! Great party food : )
It worked really well. With this group that gets together it is usually finger food.
It would be finger food here too : )
Love it!!
There must be something in the air. I, too, made sausage this past weekend. Unlike you, I used some of it to make ravioli. I’ve got plenty left over, however, so there’s still time to give your recipe a try. 🙂
Oh that sounds yummy as well.
These look like a great party food! I think puff pastry will always remain one of the baked goods I let myself buy…as long as I continue to make my own pie crusts!
Same here, though I’ll have to try to make it. Just to see what I can do. 🙂
This is going to be a problem for me. How do I not make this and not eat it all myself?
I’m the same way. So I make them when people are around and then I’m forced to share. 🙂
Nice and yummy…no good recipe for my waistline!
Home made sausage rolls are THE best! I’m trying this recipe 😀
Oh good. Hope you like them.
Cornish Pasties are my weakness. I had them on my first trip to London and have been hooked since.
Such a good and easy recipe for sausage roll…love them too!
Thank God for Zumba!
Seriously! Without Zumba I’d be sunk. I have to look for recipes for Cornish Pasties.
I see these rolls in the bakery. Must try to make them!
So easy to make and you know what goes into them!
That is so true – what is it about the food that we grow up with that it makes such an impression on us? I am from Holland and don’t miss the country at all – it’s a bit excessive to travel to Europe from NZ just to have a ‘loempia’ or other food I miss. And before you suggest it – it’s not the same to go to a restaurant here. Those sausage rolls made my mouth water!
Yes that would be hard flying from NZ all the time. Lucky we are on the east coast of the US and it’s not too hard to get to England. Can’t get much English food here so we just make it ourselves!
That’s the way, and we can all enjoy it too ♥
And it’s cheaper! 🙂
What a great idea–and my head is spinning with ideas of different fillings.
Oh I know, the possibilities are endless.
Love sausage rolls! Am having tea w girlfriends today at British Pantry Restaurant. We always start with their sausage rolls as an appetizer before the tea sandwiches – yours looks lovely!
Thanks. They are good rewarmed as well.
