Be prepared for some serious flavor explosions! Your friends and family might start begging you to make these sausage rolls for every gathering. Also, make sure to handle raw meat with care and follow proper food safety practices.

1

Preparation is key

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. This will ensure your sausage rolls cook evenly without sticking. You don't want any casualties when it comes to removing them from the tray.

2

Roll out the pastry

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out your puff pastry into a rectangle shape. Aim for a thickness of about 3mm. We're going for that perfect ratio of flaky pastry to flavorful filling here.

3

Spice things up

Remove the casings from the chorizo and merguez sausages. In a large bowl, combine the sausage meat from both types of sausages. Get your hands in there and mix it up until the chorizo and merguez are evenly distributed. It's like a spicy dance party in the palm of your hands!

4

Time to fill and roll

Spread the mixed sausage meat evenly over the rolled-out pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the pastry tightly into a log, making sure the filling is fully encased. It's like giving your sausage roll a warm, cozy hug.

5

Seal the deal

With the seam side down, gently press the edge of the pastry to seal it. Then, using a sharp knife, score the top of the sausage roll at regular intervals. Not only will this make it look impressive, but it also allows steam to escape during cooking.

6

Into the oven they go

Transfer your sausage rolls onto the prepared baking tray and brush them with a beaten egg. This will give them that gorgeous golden color when they come out of the oven. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

7

Time to indulge

Allow your exotic sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Grab one, take a bite, and savor the explosion of flavors. Serve them up as party snacks, picnic treats, or even as a main dish. These sausage rolls are versatile delights!
