Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g fresh raw chorizo sausage (removed from casing and crumbled)
  • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or your choice), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the puff pastry from the fridge to thaw slightly. Remove chorizo from casing if necessary and finely chop or crumble it. Chop onion and herbs if using.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the crumbled chorizo, finely chopped onion, and fresh herbs. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors and maintain the filling’s juiciness.
  3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: Lightly flour your workspace and gently roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out folds and slightly stretch the dough to make it easier to wrap and crisp evenly.
  4. Assemble the Sausage Rolls: Spread the chorizo mixture evenly along one edge of the puff pastry, leaving a small border for sealing. Roll the pastry over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a neat finish.
  5. Cut and Apply Egg Wash: Slice the long roll into bite-sized pieces or desired portions. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each piece with beaten egg to create a golden, glossy crust once baked.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Monitor closely towards the end to prevent burning while achieving a crisp texture.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use for the best puff and flakiness.
  • Do not overfill the pastry to avoid tearing or leaking during baking.
  • Egg wash helps seal the edges and adds an attractive golden color.
  • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for even slices to ensure uniform baking.
  • Oven temperatures may vary; monitor the first batch closely and adjust baking time if necessary.
