Jumbo Sausage Rolls – The Simple Secrets To Cooking Everything -Matt Preston
Hot out of the oven ten minutes ago (and ready for my daughter and son in laws house warming/baby shower), these sausage rolls are delicious! Make to the size you desire, add as much or as little spice ( read fire) as you like – we prefer our sausage rolls with a good dash of fire. I think I might just have to make another batch for Christmas.
** The secret ingredients are pine nuts and a special spice mix (see p.148)

tomato sauce, to serve (optional)

3. Press down to seal with the back of a fork and brush with beaten egg.
Cut each roll into three smaller sausage rolls, and prick each with a fork. Place on a baking tray lined with
baking paper and chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to cook.
4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan- forced).

My Chicken & Feta Sausage Rolls
As you can see these turned out perfectly – they were delicious and could easily be made for a lazy supper or served with some salad for a quick and easy meal. I will certainly be making these again.
Falafel: David Herbert’s Best Home Cooking – David Herbert
This is a delicious, healthy, vegetarian, vegan snack or entrée or makes great party food with a spicy yoghurt dip or a Salsa Verde (or great filling in a flat bread roll). I made mine with dried chickpeas (Garbanzos), soaked overnight, then blitzed in the food processer with fresh herbs and spices (can chickpeas are suitable for this recipe). It is the fresh coriander and parsley that makes this receipt zing!
