Caraway-seeded sausage rolls with apricot & honey recipe
To celebrate the launch of Emily Scott's brand new cookbook, Time & Tide, we're sharing one of her recipes, bringing a twist to the classic sausage roll.
Ideal for picnics on the beach, or "crib time" snacks.
Ingredients
- 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) free-range sausagemeat or minced (ground) pork
- 100 g (3½ oz) dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 50 g (2 oz/scant 2⁄3 cup) fresh breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1½ tablespoons wholegrain mustard
- 5 sprigs of thyme, leaves only
- 1 large free-range egg, beaten
- 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) packet of readymade puff pastry, halved
- Plain (all-purpose) flour, for dusting
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 3 tablespoons clear honey
Ingredients
Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, mix together the sausagemeat, apricots, breadcrumbs, milk, mustard, thyme and half of the egg until combined.
Roll out each pastry half on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 5 mm (¼ in) to form two 35 x 20 cm (14 x 8 in) rectangles.
Divide the filling mixture in half and arrange each portion along the long edge of each pastry rectangle, shaping each into a sausage shape, ensuring they reach from end to end.
Brush the other long edge with the remaining beaten egg and tightly roll up the pastry to enclose the filling. Press lightly to seal the join, then trim and crimp.
Cut each roll into 5 cm (2 in) rolls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the caraway seeds.
Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/430°F/Gas 8).
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Warm the honey in a pan over medium heat and brush each sausage roll with the runny glaze.
Leave to rest for at least 10 minutes.
