BOB'S PIGS IN BLANKETS



Bob's Pigs in Blankets image

This is an old holiday favorite of my best friend's family. They make it every year. His family calls them pigs, but I think it is some variation of beef rouladen anyway, it's certainly delicious! I throw them in the slow cooker for about 5 hours instead of cooking them on the stove top for 3.

Time 2h15m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried sage
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, well beaten
3 tablespoons agave syrup
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chiles in adobo)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the sausage: Toast the coriander, fennel and caraway seeds in a small skillet over high heat, stirring, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool completely, then grind with a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Add the garlic, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and the red pepper flakes; grind to mix. Combine the spices with the ground pork in a bowl. Add the maple syrup and mix. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dough: Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, Italian seasoning, mustard powder, baking soda, cayenne and sea salt in a food processor; pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse 5 to 6 times (for 4 to 5 seconds each time), until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the mozzarella and pulse 3 to 4 times, until well combined. Add the buttermilk and process until a ball forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Form the sausage mixture into 16 mini sausages, about 4 inches long (use about 2 tablespoons sausage for each). Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausages in 2 batches until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Cool on paper towels.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle with flour, then gently pat out and roll into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Trim the edges to make them even. Cut the rectangle in half crosswise, then cut each half into four 3-by-8-inch strips. Cut each strip in half diagonally to form 16 long triangles. Transfer to a baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place 1 sausage on the wide end of a dough triangle and roll up. Repeat with the remaining dough and sausages. Arrange the pigs in blankets 2 inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the chipotle-agave mustard: Combine the agave, both mustards, the adobo sauce and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl. Serve the pigs in blankets with the mustard.

Time 2h15m

Yield 20 pigs

Number Of Ingredients 29

Pork Sausage, recipe follows
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for bench
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg, well beaten
Chipotle Agave Mustard, recipe follows
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried ground sage leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons amber agave
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce, from canned chipotles
Pinch pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  • Form the Pork Sausage into 20 hot dog shapes, about 1/2 cup each, 4 to 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high and cook the sausages until evenly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set on a paper towel-lined plate to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, Italian seasoning, mustard powder, baking soda, cayenne and sea salt and pulse 3 to 4 times for 4 to 5 seconds each time to combine. Add the butter cubes and pulse 5 to 6 times for 4 to 5 seconds each time until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the mozzarella cheese and pulse again, 3 to 4 times for 4 to 5 seconds each time until well combined. Add the buttermilk and process until a dough ball forms.
  • Flour a work surface and turn the dough ball out onto it. Sprinkle lightly with flour and gently pat out and roll into a 10 by 15-inch rectangle. With a bench knife or pizza wheel, trim the edges to make even. Cut this in half lengthwise and again in half the short way. Cut the dough in 5 even cuts the short way to create a rectangle that is 2 squares deep on the short end and 5 squares along the long end. Cut these 5 by 3-inch squares into triangles; you should have 20 squares.
  • Add the cooled sausages to each fat end of the triangle. Roll up, tucking the thin end under and place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining triangles and sausages.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg and place in the oven. Bake until golden brown, about 16 minutes. Serve immediately with Chipotle Agave Mustard.
  • In a small skillet over high heat, add the coriander, fennel and caraway seeds. Toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a small plate to cool.
  • Once the spices have cooled completely, add to a mortar and grind with the pestle until powdery. Add the garlic, sage, salt, pepper and red chile flakes and grind to mix and combine. Add the spices to the ground pork.
  • Add the maple syrup to the ground pork and incorporate with your hands, combining well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Add all the ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Will keep for 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausages: Choose sausages with different flavors and textures to create a more interesting dish. Some good options include bratwurst, Italian sausage, and chorizo.
  • Don't overcook the sausages: Sausages should be cooked until they are browned and cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked sausages will be tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: The puff pastry is what makes pigs in a blanket so delicious, so it's important to use a good quality puff pastry. Look for a puff pastry that is made with real butter and has a flaky texture.
  • Cut the puff pastry into even strips: This will help to ensure that the pigs in a blanket cook evenly.
  • Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking: This will help to give the pigs in a blanket a golden brown color.
  • Serve the pigs in a blanket with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Pigs in a blanket are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your guests, and they are also a great way to use up leftover sausages. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give pigs in a blanket a try.
