Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 slices bacon, finely chopped
1/2 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 piece of celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 14 oz package of puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
1 lb. pork sausage
2 tbsp. chopped, fresh parsley
1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
2 large eggs, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
Mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, onion and celery, and cook for 4 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and transfer the bacon mixture to a plate. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sausage, parsley, panko, 1 egg, salt, pepper and cooled bacon mixture. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, open the puff pastry sheets on a very lightly floured cutting board (you should have 2 sheets, measuring 10-inches by 10-inches). Cut each in half to make 4 rectangles, 5-inches by 10-inches each. Lay each rectangle so that the long side faces you.
  • Remove the sausage mixture from the refrigerator and divide it into 4 portions. Form each portion into the shape of a long log, about 1-inch thick, and place one lengthwise in the center of each puff pastry rectangle. (The sausage should stretch the full length of the pastry).
  • In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush all of the borders of the puff pastry with the egg and carefully roll the pastries over the sausage mixture to create a log shape (making sure that the borders overlap slightly). Place each roll seam side down on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 1 hour. (Hang on to the egg wash for later).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut each sausage roll into 6 equal portions. Transfer the pieces to a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down, about 1-inch apart. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden on top.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS



Italian Sausage Rolls image

Provided by The Hearty Boys

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h50m

Yield 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
3 mild sausage links
3 hot sausage links
6 tablespoons grated Romano
10 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lay the puff pastry sheets out on a flat work surface. Split the sausage casings lengthwise and turn the mild sausage meat out onto 1 pastry sheet and the hot sausage meat out onto the other pastry sheet. Gently pat the meat out to fit the pastry sheets, being careful to leave a 1/2-inch strip bare on both long sides of each sheet. Top with 3 tablespoons of Romano and 5 basil leaves per sheet. Starting with 1 of the bare strips, roll the pastry tightly around the filling. The bare strip on the far end will stick to itself.
  • Place the rolls in the freezer for at least 1 hour; they should be just frozen enough to make slicing easy. (The recipe can be made to this point 1 week in advance.) Slice the rolls into 1/2-inch pieces, place on baking sheets and place in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

VENISON "SAUSAGE" ROLLS



Venison

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings of 2 appetizers each

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound ground venison
1/2 pound ground pork
2 eggs
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons freshly chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary leaves
1 red onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sheets puff pastry dough (often sold in 17 or 18-ounce packages containing 2 (9 or 10-inch) square sheets of puff pastry)
2 eggs, beaten for egg wash

Steps:

  • Make "sausage" mixture by mixing venison, pork, eggs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, onion, and salt and pepper, to taste. Saute sausage mixture over medium-high heat on the stovetop until browned, using a wooden spoon to keep the texture of the mixture "fine" (not chunky) while cooking. Drain the meat mixture well and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roll out each puff pastry sheet and cut each of the 4 sheets into 4 squares, yielding 16 squares. (These will be 4 1/2 or 5-inch square.) Spread the "sausage" mixture, over the surface of each of the 16 squares and roll up the dough "jelly roll" style (so the cross-section of the roll will be a spiral design), seal dough on the ends by crimping, and place on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Categories     Bread     Pork     Bake

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Flour for rolling dough out
1 pkg. pre-made bread dough (fresh from a bakery or frozen) or 1 can of Pillsbury pizza dough.
Drizzle of Olive oil
2-3 cloves of fresh garlic, crushed
4 Italian sausage links, removed from the skin
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. pepper
1 - 2 tsps. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. garlic powder (optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 bake. Clear an area on the table or counter then sprinkle with flour. Roll dough out on floured surface to a round shape,like a pizza. Keep the dough around 1/4 inch thick. Flip dough over and repeat. Do not over roll the dough or make it too thin. Once rolled out then rub the dough with the olive oil and crushed garlic. Spread the sausage on the dough but be careful not to rip the dough. Top with the remaining ingredients. Carefully, roll the dough into a log shape. To ensure the log stays closed, you may need to spread a little olive oil so the dough adheres. Then cut into 1 inch pin wheels. Place each wheel flat, on a greased 9x11 baking pan, 2 inches apart. Let stand for 10 minutes then place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Best served hot. Store in refrigerator, if there's any left. They go fast!!They can be re-heated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds but they are better when re-heated in a toaster oven. It makes them crunchy and tasty! Level: Moderate Mangia!

Then fold it in half lengthwise and spray again. Place 1 heaping tablespoon filling in the center of the bottom end of the phyllo. Fold in the sides, then roll up from the bottom to completely enclose the filling (it should look like an egg roll). Place the roll, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, nonstick cooking spray, and filling to make a total of 16 rolls.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten
Purchased marinara sauce, heated

Steps:

  • Lightly grease large baking sheet. Combine breadcrumbs and milk in small bowl. Let stand until milk is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to processor. Add sausages, onion, 1 egg, garlic and oregano. Using on/off turns, process until blended. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold pastry sheet on floured work surface. Roll out to 12x10-inch rectangle. Cut pastry crosswise into three 10x4-inch strips. Brush each strip with beaten egg. Spoon 1/3 of sausage mixture in narrow strip lengthwise down center of each pastry strip. Fold long sides in, covering filling and overlapping slightly in center; press seam to seal. Arrange rolls seam side down on prepared sheet. Cover and chill until rolls are firm, at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Cut each roll crosswise into 8 pieces. Separate pieces on baking sheet. Brush with some of remaining beaten egg. Bake until rolls are puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the sausage into thin, even slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a meat grinder, you can pulse the sausage in a food processor until it is finely chopped.
  • Be sure to brown the sausage before adding it to the dough. This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a dough that is slightly sticky. This will help the rolls to hold together.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the rolls tough.
  • Let the rolls rise in a warm place until they are double in size. This will help them to be light and fluffy.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to get a crispy crust.
