A bit of history

Meat rolls have a long history, found in various forms around the world. Whether filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables, these treats are always appreciated. Our version with sausages is quick and easy to make, perfect even for beginners in the culinary arts.

Your ingredients will be:

- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 50 ml cold water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 400 g sausages
- 400 g puff pastry
- 1 beaten egg, for brushing

Preparing the mini sausage rolls

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Start by preheating the oven to 200°C. It is important to have the oven well heated so that the rolls become crispy and golden.

Step 2: Prepare the meat mixture

In a bowl, mix the crushed garlic with the cold water. This combination will add a subtle and pleasant flavor to your rolls. Remove the meat from the sausages, discarding the casing. Add the meat to the bowl with water and garlic, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t forget to add the chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of freshness.

Step 3: Prepare the puff pastry

On a clean surface, roll out the puff pastry. Cut it into two equal parts. It is important to work with well-chilled pastry to achieve the best results.

Step 4: Fill the rolls

Divide the sausage mixture in half and place each half on the pieces of puff pastry. Spread the meat lengthwise, leaving about a 1 cm edge free. This edge will help seal the rolls.

Step 5: Roll the pastry

Brush the edge of the pastry with the beaten egg. This will help stick the rolls together. Gently roll the pastry to form a tight roll. Then, cut the formed rolls into smaller pieces, yielding 20 pieces.

Step 6: Baking

Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden and crispy. You’ll be delighted by the delicious smell that will fill the house!

Step 7: Serving

Once the rolls are ready, let them cool slightly before serving. These mini sausage rolls are delicious both warm and at room temperature. You can serve them with mustard or ketchup for an extra flavor boost.
