Ingredients
1 tbsp of oil
1 onion, finely chopped
450g of sausage meat
50g of dried cranberries
100g of walnut pieces, roughly chopped
100g of whole chestnuts, chopped
6 sage leaves, chopped
50g of fresh breadcrumbs
500g pack of puff pastry
1 medium egg, beaten
METHOD
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a small frying pan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until golden, allow to cool slightly then mix into the sausage meat with the cranberries, walnuts, chestnuts, sage and breadcrumbs, season well.
Step 3
Divide the pastry into 3 and roll each into a 34cm x 15cm rectangle. Place a third of the filling in a sausage shape along the long length of each pastry. Brush one of the edges of pastry with egg and roll up to seal in the filling. Brush the rolls all over with the egg. Finely chop the remaining walnuts and roll the logs in to evenly coat.
