LAMB, HARISSA AND ALMOND SAUSAGE ROLLS
In this sassy twist on a classic sausage roll, the Australian chef Paul Allam of Bourke Street Bakery riffs on North African flavors to create something fragrant, rich and generously spiced. Harissa pastes can vary widely in heat content; Mr. Allam uses a moderately hot homemade paste in his recipe. If your harissa is especially potent, consider using half the amount called for here.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place almonds on baking sheet and roast until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Pour almonds onto a cutting board to cool slightly. (Reserve baking sheet and parchment.) Coarsely chop almonds and place in large mixing bowl. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add roasted red peppers, harissa and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to the bowl with the almonds and let cool.
- Add ground lamb, couscous, currants, pepper and the remaining salt to almonds. Using your hands, mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Roll the chilled puff pastry dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut pastry into 4 equal rectangles. In the center of each pastry, dollop a quarter of the lamb mixture, then form it into a long sausage running lengthwise on the pastry strip. Lightly brush one long edge of the pastry with egg wash. Starting with the side without the egg wash, firmly fold the pastry over the meat filling to form long rolls, pinching to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet, seam-sides down.
- Lightly brush the top of each roll with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds, if using. Bake until sausage rolls are golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the almonds, and cook until dark, golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Lay the chicken breasts out onto your work surface and evenly divide the toasted almonds among them. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, then arrange the spinach leaves over top. Roll each chicken breast into a log and secure with toothpicks. Pour half of the vinaigrette into a 7x11-inch baking dish. Place the chicken rolls into the baking dish seam-side-down. Pour the remaining vinaigrette over the rolls.
- Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let the breasts rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Let cool to lukewarm, then combine with the yeast mixture. 3. In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy, the add the egg yolks, one at a time, and combine well after each addition, Alternately add the flour and the yeast mixture to the creamed butter. Once blended, switch to the dough hook and mix until the mixture comes away from the sides of the bowl. 4. Grease a bowl with butter and add the dough, turning once to coat with butter,. Cover and chill overnight. 5. In the morning, mix the sugar, salt, almonds and almond paste in the food processor to form a crumb mixture. Divide in half. 6. Divide the dough in half. Sprinkle one half of the nut mixture over a lightly floured pastry board, then roll out one half of the dough on top of the nuts, pressing well. Gently turn over so that nuts are on top, and from the long side, roll up, jelly-roll fashion. 7. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone, and then slice the dough into ½" thick slices, arrange on cookie sheets, leaving one inch between slices. Let rise for one hour. 8. Preheat the oven to 350◦ and bake the rolls until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best results, use cold butter and cream cheese. This will help to keep the dough from becoming too soft and sticky.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll out, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, or the dough will become tough.
- To make sure the rolls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a roll. If the toothpick comes out clean, the rolls are done.
- For a sweeter roll, you can brush the tops of the rolls with a simple syrup or glaze before baking.
