This is one of several recipes in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’ in an article featuring food that children will find delicious and which is therefore ideal for serving at children’s parties. I have also posted Recipe #139946. And if you’re looking for other tasty variations on sausage rolls, many of which will also appeal to children, you may like to try my Recipe #169225, Recipe #333506, Recipe #342256 or Recipe #159722.
I haven’t made these yet but I was keen to post this recipe as soon as I spotted it in the current issue of the Australian magazine ‘New Idea’ because I love Fergusson Plarre’s (naughty but delicious) spinach and ricotta rolls and this recipe could so very easily be adapted to include spinach by perhaps halving the chicken mince and adding some spinach in its place. Anyway, I’m looking forward to experimenting with the recipe and was keen to post it here where I can find it! The lemon mayonnaise also sounds very tasty! If you’re not keen on citrus flavours, feel free to serve with your own choice of sauce or dip. These would, I think taste good with Tzatziki. This recipe featured as part of an easy-to-prepare Melbourne Cup lunch menu. To the best of my knowledge, Melbourne is the only city in the world to have a holiday for a horse race, the first Tuesday in November. And what better place than Zaar to test the truth or otherwise of that statement! And to answer –Nimz–‘s query as to why these are called “sausage rolls”, I’d say that the term “sausage roll” has become a generic term for anything resembling a sausage roll in appearance. I have two other sausage-less “sausage rolls” posted on Zaar: Recipe #169225 and Recipe #139699.
An Australian classic and a favourite with 2 year-olds through to 92 year-olds, at morning teas, afternoon teas, children’s parties and as finger food at adult parties. This version of the recipe combines a few healthier ingredients – ground chicken and several vegetables – with the classic ingredients. From an October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Fresh Living’.
These yummy creations were on an antipasto platter at the Rimfire Winery at Maclagan (near Toowoomba, Queensland). I just HAD to ask the chef for the recipe! They’ve become a family favourite.
This recipe was sent to me by my mum,who thought that her beloved grandchildren might enjoy them! The first time I made them they didn’t even get a chance to go cold,as the children and I devoured them.I have since made them to take to our local playgroup end of term party,and once again,children and parents alike loved them.They are so simple and delicious,and a great way to get some extra veggies into your children.Perfect for picnics and lunchbags.I often pack a few in a tub for when we go shopping for child friendly snacks.I should imagine that these would be good served warm with pre dinner drinks or as part of a finger buffet.
