These puff pastry sausage rolls are different from other recipes, they are filled with beef mince, potato and aromatic homemade samosa spices. Light, flaky, crispy and crunchy on the outside and a little spicy on the inside. These gourmet sausage rolls are easier to make than you think. You can even prepare these ahead of time, freeze uncooked and bake later.
About This Recipe
- Healthier than the average sausage roll,
- Full of flavour,
- Perfect for any occasion and
- Easy to make.
How To Make
Plain boiled, mashed potatoes are combined with an easy to make spicy ground beef samosa filling, then wrapped in puff pasty and baked until golden brown.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before dividing and shaping the mixture. The best way to shape the filling is to place it onto the puff pastry sheet then, use your hands to shape it into a long even sized log.
Brush egg wash on the inside of one of the long edges and roll the pastry up to encase the filling. Gently press the edges together to seal, then roll so that the sealed side is facing down. Transfer to a baking tray.
1. Use a sharp knife cut each long roll into six even sized pieces. If you like use a ruler to evenly mark the pastry before cutting.
2. Separate each of the smaller rolls.
3. Lightly brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Then place in the oven and bake until golden brown.
These gourmet puff pastry sausage rolls can also be passed around at Christmas, Thanksgiving or at any special occasion.
Perfect for parties or as an after-school snack, these easy beef sausage rolls are even more delicious when dipped into homemade tomato ketchup. These savoury mouthfuls will make a complete meal when teamed up with my roast pumpkin and sweet potato soup.

Notes
- My favourite curry powder for this recipe is Clive of India. I find that 11 teaspoons is enough to give me the flavours we like. If you are using another type of curry powder adjust the quantities to your liking.
