OK this is clearly a fusion job! Our first attempt was an on-line Gluten Free recipe which simply didn’t work. We both had a pop at it and both failed. Sometimes recipes just don’t work.
So this was a real fusion dish made from various leftovers!
Ingredients:-
Left over filling from the Nasi Goreing Recipe
Left over filling from the Rellenong Pusit Recipe
2 Tsp of mild Curry Powder
1 Tsp of Chinese 5 Spice
2 Eggs, beaten
1 Tsp of Turmeric
2 rolls of Just Roll Gluten Free Puff Pastry ( Yes I actually bought Pastry! )
Method:-
(1) Mix the leftover filling with the Curry Powder and Chinese 5 Spice in a bowl.
(2) Mix the beaten Eggs and Turmeric in a dish.
(3) Pre-heat the over to 180c.
(4) Use an inverted bowl to cut circles out of the pastry.
(5) Add filling so they will be well packed, but you will be able to close the edges.
(6) Crimp the pastry to seal the fillings in.
(7) Brush with the Egg wash to add colour during cooking.
(8) Place in the oven for 45 minutes.
(9) Remove and place on a rack to cool.
(10) Freeze if required.
I work with a Vegetarian and a Vegan neither of who will appreciate these. But Clay, Jason, Dillan and I will….. We got 10 ‘Pasties’ on of left-overs and pastry. So the total cost including the Eggs etc. is about 22p each!
There are no hard and fast rules to Sausage Rolls, you could even make them with minced Beef and call them Australian Snag Rolls if you liked. But this was my attempt at Cheese and Chilli Sausage Rolls. (We used to make 80 to 120 of these a day when I working in the butchers shop and they always sold out by lunchtime!)
Ingredients:-
500g Pork mince
150g Grated Cheese
Chilli flakes
Salt to season
1 egg, battered to glaze
Pre rolls puff pasty
Method:-
(1) Mix the grated cheese, mince, salt and Chilli flakes in a bowl.
(2) Lay the pastry out and stuff with the meat mixture.
(3) Brush with battered egg.
(4) Cool on parchment in the oven at 180c for 30 minute or until the pasty is golden brown and the meat is cooled in the middle.
