How to make pull-apart filo sausage rolls for Christmas party season

Everyone loves a sausage roll, and these filo pastry rolls are a little bit lighter than the original. Adding a mixture of different seasonings gives an extra layer of flavour to each bite, says Beverley Hicks

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400FGas 6.

Place two sheets of filo pastry on the work surface and brush with melted butter.

Form the sausage meat in to a long sausage shape and lay along one of the long sides of the pastry.

With the sausage meat horizontally at the top, sprinkle lines of the fennel seeds, smoked sweet paprika, grated cheese and lemon pepper vertically down to the bottom of the pastry and spread the cranberry sauce and mustard in lines also. You should now have 6 lines of different seasoning.

Roll the sausage meat down, enclosing all the seasoning. Brush the end with beaten egg yolk and seal.

Cut bite-size pieces out of the roll, put into a baking dish with the cut side facing up, brush with the remaining egg yolk and cook in the oven for 25 minutes.

To serve, turn out onto a serving plate and let your guests help themselves - with some cranberry sauce for dipping.
