Anyway enough of that it is done and you move on, I have been cooking and baking more than ever and I believe it to be because I am starting my 'Culinary Arts' degree in just a couple of weeks and am beyond excited, but this is not exactly a culinary masterpiece that I am giving a recipe for, but who doesn't like sausage rolls? And of course you can make your own puff pastry for this but I had ready made in the freezer so that is what I used. Also I am using an iphone to take these photo's so bare with me while I try to make them look half decent!
Role of shop bought puff pastry
Good quality pork sausages, skinned
Grated Cheddar
Marmite
1 Egg beaten
I mixed my sausage meat with grated strong Cheddar and a rather large dessert spoon of Marmite as it looses a bit of it's flavour when cooked.
I spread a layer of Marmite on the pastry before laying my meat mixture on top.
I like my sausage rolls quite big but make them smaller if you like, I brushed them with beaten egg before putting in the over at around gas mark 6 for 20 minutes.
And here they are, the Marmite makes the pastry get a gorgeous sticky savoury goo around the edges and they were lovely. Great things to make with kids or for lunchboxes.

Lovely to see you back and what a cracker of a recipe. Good for you for bouncing back. Good luck with your Degree x
ReplyDeleteI must Google Marmite at once as I have no idea what it is, and probably can't get it here (Wash. DC). Nonetheless this looks fun. Sorry about the break in, but life goes on, don't it?
ReplyDeleteMarmite is a savoury product made from spent brewer's yeast. Intended as a spread for bread or toast, a small amount (half a teaspoon +/-) adds a umami hit to things like stews.
DeleteIt's expensive for a waste product.
Australia has a similar product in Vegemite.
Just looked, and Wiki has a bit:

I really do try to like marmite - honest. But you can't beat a good sausage roll. Sorry that you've had such a bad time - it's good to see you back. Best of luck with the start of the degree course.
ReplyDeleteAhh thanks guys and Stephen life does go on! Marmite is a yeast extract spread which has a very very strongly savoury flavour, as we say in the UK you either love it or hate it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good luck Phil, I really can't wait!
