Ingredients
- 1 tsp Co-op olive oil
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 30g Co-op flaked almonds
- 400g pack Co-op Irresistible
- British Cumberland sausages
- ½ x 190g pack Co-op chorizo cooking sausages
- 50g Co-op soft pitted dates, finely chopped
- Co-op plain flour, for dusting
- 375g pack Co-op puff pastry ready rolled
- 1 Co-op British free range egg
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/Gas 6
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion over a low-medium heat for 8-10 mins, until soft. Add the paprika, thyme and almonds, then fry for 2 mins more. Set aside to cool
- Squeeze the meat from both types of sausage into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled onion mixture, along with the dates and seasoning. Stir until well combined, then set aside in the fridge
- Lightly dust the work surface with flour, then unroll the pastry onto it. Lay the sausagemeat in a log shape lengthways down the centre, then make 2cm-wide cuts down each side of the pastry, leaving a 2cm gap on either side of the meat
- Fold the top and bottom ends of pastry up over the sausage and then bring the cut strips of pastry alternately from each side over the sausage to resemble a plait
- Lightly beat the egg, then brush over the sausage roll. Bake for 40-45 mins, until the pastry is golden and crisp, leave to cool for 10 mins, then cut into slices
