Elevate your party with a gourmet, spiced pork twist on the traditional sausage roll.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds, plus extra to sprinkle
  • 1 tsp brown mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 80g sliced pancetta, chopped
  • 450g pork mince
  • 1 1/2-500.00 ml (105g-140g) soft white fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
  • 82.50 ml roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 375g block frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • Sesame, to sprinkle
  • Poppyseeds, to sprinkle
  • Tomato chutney or sauce, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 200°C and line a tray with baking paper. Toast spices in a dry frypan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Grind toasted spices in a mortar and pestle until finely ground. Set aside. In the same pan over medium heat, sauté onion and pancetta for 5 minutes until onion softens. Stir in ground spices and let cool.
  • Combine the onion mixture with the pork, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest, and half of the egg in a large bowl. Season generously and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 5mm-thick, 40cm x 28cm rectangle. Cut the pastry in half lengthwise to create two long rectangles. Shape the pork into two 40cm sausages, each about 4cm wide. Place one sausage on each pastry rectangle and roll up to enclose the sausage. Place the rolls seamside down on a tray. Brush with egg and sprinkle with fennel, sesame, and poppy seeds. Cut the rolls diagonally into 5cm pieces. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked. Serve with chutney.
