Sounds delicious; sounds SO easy: found this recipe in today’s ‘Herald Sun Sunday magazine’ and just had to post it here for safe-keeping! LOVE sage – and I’ll most probably add rosemary to the sage as I have a nifty Rosemary and Sage grinder and I’ve discovered that these two work just SO well together. I’m planning on making these for over the Christmas break. And I’ll certainly be adding minced garlic. UPDATE: since two reviewers have found that their sausage rolls were slightly burnt on the bottoms, if you know your oven is inclined to be perhaps hotter than some other ovens, perhaps cook them at a slightly lower temperature even if they take a bit longer to cook.
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.
A good old favourite. Serve with tomato sauce. This recipe makes 18 rolls Definitely not a recipe for those of us who do not eat red meat and are gluten free.
