HOMEMADE CHICKEN SAUSAGE ROLLS WITH HONEY MUSTARD

Sausage rolls are the ultimate party food. You never say ‘no’ to a platter of hot sausage rolls and tomato sauce being passed around. But we are classing up this humble delicacy today with these Homemade Chicken Sausage Rolls with a Honey Mustard dipping sauce.

The point of difference for these is the use of chicken mince instead of sausage meat. It’s a leaner and healthier alternative to pork or beef mince. And that sweet and tangy honey mustard is just the perfect accompaniment.

I’m always sceptical of store-bought sausage rolls… not to say they aren’t a tasty and convenient appetiser to serve at a party… but at least with this homemade version you know EXACTLY what goes into them. In case you haven’t noticed on the blog, I’m all about using fresh ingredients, and going that extra step to make things myself instead of buying the pre-made stuff.

The great thing about these sausage rolls is they are super simple to make and can even be prepped a day or two before you plan on serving them. Start by sautéing the onions and garlic in some oil. Then mix those together with the rest of the filling ingredients in a large bowl. I’ve added grated carrot for some hidden veg and natural sweetness but you could totally add any other grated vegetable you like! Zucchini also works great.

Now the assembly. Cut each pastry sheet in half and load up with filling down the middle. Then pull the opposite edge over the filling and join up with the edge closest to you. Use a fork to press them together and prick some holes in the top. This not only ensures they will stay together but it’s also a cool pattern! Slice into evenly sized quarters and brush with a beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds.

That sauce though…

You can’t skip the honey mustard dipping sauce. I seriously cannot get over how good it is. So simple but adds a perfect slightly sweet, slightly tangy flavour to the sausage rolls.

Top tips:

• Store-bought puff pastry saves time and energy.
• Make these sausage rolls in advance. Store them raw in the fridge the day before you wish to serve them.
• Can be oven-baked or air fried.
