Sausage Upgrade

Our Signature Sausage range are full of delicious and unique sausage flavours that anyone can enjoy, and at $2.05-3.40 per sausage, it's a cheap way to feed your family. You may then be tempted to serve sausage for breakfast, lunch and dinner, today, tomorrow and the next day, but even our most delicious sausages can get a bit old after a while. Instead of getting bored, try dressing up our sausages and enjoy them as a new and exciting dish. Follow this recipe, adapt it to suit your palate, and make your family happy for cheap.

The following recipe uses our lamb, pumpkin and fetta sausages and basil pesto to create a delicious combo, but you can use your imagination to pair anything together. Try our chorizo-inspired sausages with a chunky tomato chutney, apple cider pork sausages and spiced apple sauce, voodoo bacon, rye whiskey and beef sausages with caramelised onions, or whatever you can imagine!

Ingredients

• 6 lamb, fetta and pumpkin sausages
• 1/4 cup basil pesto
• 3 sheets frozen puff pastry
• Egg wash (1 whisked egg)

Method

1. Defrost your sausages and puff pastry until pliable but not completely defrosted. Take a very sharp knife and gently run the tip along the length of the sausage, cutting through the casing. Peel the casing away and leave the sausages skinless. You can also leave the sausages with the skin on if you're short on time (or motivation) and make these more like pigs in a blanket than sausage rolls.

2. Cut each pastry sheet in half and spoon just under a tablespoon of pesto onto the pastry, spreading it along the sheet, making sure to leave a border around the edges. Place a sausage on each half, leaving enough room on either side to wrap the sausage, then fold them like a book with as little overlap as possible. You can fold the top and bottom end over or trim the sheet and pinch closed, or leave open-ended. 

3. Use the egg wash to seal the edges together, or just press them together gently with your fingers or a fork. You can optionally egg wash the entire pastry for extra browning in the oven, and sprinkle pine nuts or sesame seeds for an extra garnish. 

4.  Cook them on a parchment lined baking sheet for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Ensure there's enough space between them for the pastry to puff up. These can be cooked in the air fryer as well. Serve for lunch, as an appetiser snack or in kids' lunch boxes.
