Ingredients

• 225 g pork sausages, casings removed
• 1 tbsp finely diced onion
• 50 g sliced salami, chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
• 1 egg, lightly beaten, for brushing
• mixed salad leaves and tomato sauce, to serve

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven 200°C.
2. Place the sausage meat, onion, salami, salt and pepper in a bowl and use your hands to combine well. Divide the meat in half, then shape into two logs, each the length of the pastry sheet.
3. Cut the pastry in half to make two rectangles. Place the logs of sausage mixture in the centre of the strips, brush the edges with beaten egg and fold the pastry over to enclose filling. Press the edges together well, then place seam–side down a chopping board and cut each log into thirds.
4. Place on a baking paper–lined baking tray, brush with egg and make two cuts in the top of each roll. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Serve hot with mixed leaves and tomato sauce.
