Chicken and Ricotta Sausage Rolls image

I haven't made these yet but I was keen to post this recipe as soon as I spotted it in the current issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea' because I love Fergusson Plarre's (naughty but delicious) spinach and ricotta rolls and this recipe could so very easily be adapted to include spinach by perhaps halving the chicken mince and adding some spinach in its place. Anyway, I'm looking forward to experimenting with the recipe and was keen to post it here where I can find it! The lemon mayonnaise also sounds very tasty! If you're not keen on citrus flavours, feel free to serve with your own choice of sauce or dip. These would, I think taste good with Tzatziki. This recipe featured as part of an easy-to-prepare Melbourne Cup lunch menu. To the best of my knowledge, Melbourne is the only city in the world to have a holiday for a horse race, the first Tuesday in November. And what better place than Zaar to test the truth or otherwise of that statement! And to answer --Nimz--'s query as to why these are called "sausage rolls", I'd say that the term "sausage roll" has become a generic term for anything resembling a sausage roll in appearance. I have two other sausage-less "sausage rolls" posted on Zaar: Recipe #169225 and Recipe #139699.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 chicken and ricotta sausage rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

400 g ground chicken
200 g smooth ricotta cheese
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb
2 garlic cloves, finely minced or 1/2 teaspoon mccormick garlic season-all seasoning
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
salt, to taste (if not using the 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Season-All seasoning)
fresh ground pepper, to taste (if not using the 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Season-All seasoning)
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
1/2 cup whole egg mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place chicken, ricotta, breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs and seasoning in a mixing bowl and use your hands to mix it until all the ingredients are well-combined.
  • Divide the mixture into four portions.
  • Cut the pastry sheets in half lengthways and place a quarter of the chicken mixture lengthways down each of the long sides of each of the pastry halves; roll up the pastry to enclose the filling and place the four pastry rolls, seam-side down, on a chopping board; brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Cut each pastry roll into six individual chicken and ricotta sausage rolls and arrange them on an oven tray lined with baking paper.
  • Cook the chicken and ricotta sausage rolls in a hot oven (200°C) for about 35 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly browned and crisp.
  • To make the lemon mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Serve the chicken and ricotta sausage rolls warm or cold with the lemon mayonnaise.

These sausage rolls were okay, but I've had better. The pastry was a little dry and the filling was a little bland.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed these sausage rolls. The ricotta cheese and herbs gave them a great flavor.

The filling was a little bland for me. I think I will add some extra spices next time.

These sausage rolls were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I will try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I made these sausage rolls with ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still really good. I also added some chopped spinach to the filling for extra flavor.

These chicken and ricotta sausage rolls were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and juicy, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
