Hey, guys, welcome back to the Girl Gone London channel, if you're new here.
My name is Kalyn.
I'm an American expat living in the U.K. Today.
We are making a popular British holiday
appetizer or finger food, which are sausage rolls.
OK, so sausage rolls are basically sausage
wrapped in pastry, kind of like pigs in a blanket, but the sausage is not in tact.
It's kind of like a paste put inside
the pastries, super popular, especially around the holidays.
My British husband is obsessed with sausage rolls.
I am mostly a vegetarian.
So this is going to be a really
interesting cooking tutorial for me because I'm going to have to really get
my hands in the sausage mix.
And
I'm not 100 percent looking forward to it, but I'm doing it in the name of love
and teaching you how to make some British Christmas classics.
So I am going to set you up and show you
exactly what you need and exactly what we're using and then we'll get started.
OK, so take a look at what I've got going on in terms of ingredients.
I've got some sausages, I've got a beaten egg,
I've got some puff pastry, some parsley, which is going to be chopped
as well as half a clove of garlic over there.
I've just got a knife, a cutting board and a food processor,
because that is what is going to help us create the sausage mix.
So let me just go ahead and get you set up.
So first, I want to chop the garlic into tiny pieces and I'm just going to get
some salt as well, actually, to make a little bit of a paste in just a second.
Get some salt
and go ahead and use the flat part of your
knife and just crush the garlic on your chopping board with the salt.
And you'll actually make kind of a paste,
so it looks like that and I'm going to add this into a small bowl.
Next, I'm going to chop up a handful of parsley.
Back to the bowl.
We're going to add 50 milliliters,
which is two ounces, just under a fourth of a cup of cold water to this bowl.
Go ahead and mix that up.
Now it's time to use my food processor, so put that aside.
I'm going to open my sausages.
Now, if you have regular sausage meat, you can go ahead and measure out four
hundred grams, I have sausages with skin on them, so I'm just going to go ahead
and use about six sausages and take the skin off.
So we've got our sausage in the food processor, and now I'm going to pour
in our mixture of the water, parsley, garlic and salt.
Just like that,
close up your food processor.
And we're going to blend until Smooth's.
OK, so I've got my sausage mixture
and now I'm going to take my puff pastry, so this is ready rolled puff pastry
and this is three hundred and seventy five grams.
So I'm going to open it.
Unroll it.
There we go. Now I'm going to cut in half lengthwise.
Like that.
And I'm going to take my sausage mixture,
divide it into two and spread it in the center of these roles.
Now, I'm going to go ahead and roll these.
Now you can use your beaten egg to brush
the sides in order to keep it together a bit more.
There we go. Now, I'm going to go ahead and cut these
so that they are a little miniature sausage rolls with a knife.
Now we've got this baking tray, I'm going to put my sausage rolls on.
Now I want to brush more egg all over the pastry here.
OK, so I've got my sausage rolls all ready to go in the oven.
They're going to go in at 200 Celsius, which is about 400 Fahrenheit for 25 to 35
minutes or until the pastry has actually puffed and is a little bit golden.
So I will see you after they come out of the oven to show you what they look like.
OK, so I've just taken them out of the oven, it's been about 30 minutes,
and I'll just show you what they look like.
Oh.
I did rotate them about halfway through just to try and get them to cook evenly
because our oven doesn't cook super evenly, but those are sausage rolls,
great finger foods for holiday parties, and again, a really popular British food.
