Making Australian Sausage Rolls is a wonderful way to bring the family together in the kitchen. Children can help with rolling the pastry or brushing the egg wash, turning the cooking process into a fun family activity. This not only teaches them valuable cooking skills but also creates lasting memories around the dinner table.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have leftovers, don't worry! Sausage rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To keep them fresh, you can also freeze them before baking. Simply wrap each roll in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheat the sausage rolls directly from the freezer. Place them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the pastry is crisp. This way, you can savor that delightful flaky texture all over again!

Ingredients

For the Sausage Filling

500g sausage meat
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp dried oregano

For the Pastry

2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine sausage meat, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Roll Out the Pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise.

Fill the Pastry

Place a line of the sausage mixture along one edge of each pastry strip. Roll the pastry over the filling to form a log, sealing the edges with a little water.

Cut and Prepare for Baking

Cut each roll into 6 pieces and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.

Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Australian Sausage Rolls, consider serving them with an array of dipping sauces. Traditional condiments like tomato sauce or mustard are always a hit, but you can also try spicy aioli or tangy barbecue sauce for a twist. Pair these rolls with a fresh salad or vegetable platter to create a well-rounded meal.

For a more festive touch, serve them alongside cheese platters and sparkling beverages. They make an excellent addition to any charcuterie board, impressing your guests with both flavor and presentation.

Nutritional Information

While Australian Sausage Rolls are undeniably delicious, it's good to be mindful of their nutritional content. Each roll provides a comforting blend of protein from the sausage and carbohydrates from the pastry. However, moderation is key, especially if you're watching your calorie intake.

To make the rolls a bit healthier, consider using lean sausage meat or even turkey or chicken sausage. Incorporating finely chopped vegetables into the filling can also boost the nutritional value without compromising on taste.
