Pork and fennel sausage rolls

These classic pork and fennel sausage rolls are perennial Australian favourite snack. Pork mince, garlic, onion and fennel seeds are wrapped in a thin layer of buttery puff pastry and then baked until golden brown. Add a sprinkling of extra fennel seeds to the top of the pastry for an extra hint of anise sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 2 tbsp fennel seeds, plus extra for topping
  • 500 g pork mince
  • ½ cup white breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs (1 egg for mixture + 1 egg, lightly beaten, for brushing
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1 pack butter puff pastry, thawed but still cold

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220˚C (200˚C fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the fennel seeds and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, breadcrumbs, 1 egg and the onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
  4. Shape the sausage mixture into two 40 cm x 4 cm sausages. Place each sausage onto one pastry sheet, then roll up to enclose. Trim any excess pastry.
  5. Place the sausage rolls, seam-side down onto a cutting board. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the sausage rolls with beaten egg, then sprinkle with extra fennel seeds. Cut into 5 cm pieces, then place on the lined baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
