These pork and chorizo sausage rolls are packed full of flavour. The delightful taste and textures of the pork mince and chorizo encased in a crisp, buttery puff pastry explode in the mouth with a quick dip in a sweet chilli jam.

minutesIngredients
250 grams of pork mince
250 grams of dried chorizo, chopped
1 red onion, grated
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 teaspoon dried oregano or tarragon
2 sheets of ready-made puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sesame seeds and poppy seeds
Chilli jam
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200c and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut the chorizo into small pieces and finely chop it in a food processor.
- Place chorizo and pork mince with the grated red onion in a mixing bowl.
- Grate the zucchini and place it on a clean tea towel. Squeeze to remove as much of the liquid as possible.
- Add your choice of herbs and, using your hands, mix all the ingredients.
- Lay the pastry on a flat surface and place a sausage-shaped line of the mixture along one edge, leaving an inch of pastry on the other side.
- Brush the edge of the pastry with the egg wash and roll it into a long sausage shape.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, divide the long roll into lengths of your choice – small bite-sized for a party tray or larger for a family meal.
- Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with the seeds.
- Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until golden.
Notes
- Serve with the chilli jam on the side.
