My Mini Pork Apple & Sage Sausage Rolls with Curry Ketchup make perfect little bites with drinks or for casual snacking. You can freeze them for later. Crispy puff pastry wraps a flavorful sausage filling and pairs perfectly with curry ketchup. It’s hard to stop at just one or two.

These mini sausage rolls are a delicious alternative to the age-old pigs in a blanket and they taste better too. Everyone loves a good Homemade British Sausage Roll and these are very seasonal with the use of pork, apple and sage. Great for holiday entertaining.

If you have guests coming over for drinks, or just feel like having something to nibble on, these sausage rolls are perfect for both. I may have had a couple for breakfast one morning while no one was looking.

The sausage roll is Britain’s favorite snack or light meal and a sausage roll in puff pastry is where it’s at.  There’s something about biting into soft, crispy puff pastry that you don’t get from anything else, then you get through the pork filling that is flavored with sweet apple and sage. The only thing that makes these better is the curry ketchup because you have to have something to dip into.

You have to try this ketchup

It’s always a delicious idea to have something to dip these tasty bites in and the curry ketchup could not be easier and is so good! It’s just curry powder and ketchup, cool eh?  It is also good for dipping fries, and the Germans use it on their sausages, it’s called Currywurst.

Can I use shortcrust pastry for sausage rolls?

You can. I use my easy pastry for many things like meat pies but I have to say, you can’t beat the crispiness of puff pastry. Another great pastry shortcut is to use those crescent rolls that come in the tubes.

Can I freeze uncooked sausage rolls?

Yes, this is a great made ahead solution. Line them up on a baking sheet (that will fit your freezer), freeze them for at least an hour then put them in a ziptop bag. If you freeze them this way, they wont stick together in the bag.

I only have 1 problem with these sausage rolls.  It is very hard to not start eating them when they come out of the oven because they smell so good (I had this problem). So the best thing is to make a double batch. Party time!

Ingredients
 

For the ketchup

  • 2 teaspoons mild curry powder
  • 1 cup (235 grams) ketchup

For the sausage rolls

  • 1 pound (453 grams) ground pork
  • 1 cup red apple, grated
  • ¼ medium onion, grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions
 

Make the ketchup:

  • Add the curry powder to a small sauté pan. Cook over very low heat, stirring often, until fragrant—about 1 minute—to remove the raw flavor.
  • Transfer the curry powder to a bowl and allow it to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, add the ketchup and mix well.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.

Make the sausage rolls:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, apple, onion, basil, sage, salt, and pepper.
    Mix until well combined, then set aside.
  • 3. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it measures 16 x 9 inches. (40 x 23 cm). Cut into four 4 x 9-inch (10 x 23 cm) rectangles.
  • 4. Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a sausage and place it lengthwise on each pastry rectangle, close to the left edge.
  • 5. Brush the right edge of the pastry with egg wash. Roll the pastry over the filling, sealing it with the seam underneath. Repeat with the remaining rectangles.
  • 6. Cut each roll into 1½-inch (4 cm) pieces and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  • 7. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown and puffed.
  • 8. Serve warm with the curry ketchup.
