The secret and best ingredient here is the bacon, which makes the rolls stand out and gives they extra Savory flavour.

Ingredients serves 5 fair sized rolls :-
- 250g pork mince
- Olive oil for sautéing
- 2 garlic gloves
- 1 onion
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch black pepper
- Already made puff pastry, or homemade
- 1 egg , for egg wash
- Ketchup or any sauce to serve
Method :-
- Preheat the oven to 180c degrees
-
Heat oil in frying pan over medium high heat. SautĂ© garlic, onion for 2 minutes, add bacon. Cook for a further 2 minutes, make sure it’s not too brown , then transfer to a medium bowl bowl
-
Add the rest of filling ingredients into the bowl. Use your hands to mix well.
-
Lay out a rectangle of pastry, long edge closest to you. Brush egg along one long edge.
-
Get 1/5 th of the filling and shape into a long log shape down the middle of the pastry. Roll up, sealing on the edge with egg wash on it.
-
refrigerate for 1 hour, it makes it easier to cut afterwards, if you don’t have an hour just do it straight away
-
Cut the log into four equal lengths, or just two if you want full size sausage rolls. Brush with egg.
-
Place on a baking tray sprayed with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is deep golden brown. If the filling looks still pink after baking that’s okay because it’s the bacon not the pork.
Serve warm with sauce/dip of your choice
