Ingredients
For the Sausage:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- 2 teaspoons marjoram
- 2 teaspoons basil
- 2 teaspoons rosemary
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 3/4 cup unflavored breadcrumbs
- 1 ½ teaspoons Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub
For the Pastry:
- 17.3 ounce (490 grams) 2 count package puff pastry
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 2/3 cup Ballymaloe relish (divided)
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Sausage Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, thyme, marjoram, basil, rosemary, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, and Texas Beef BBQ Rub. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Prepare the Pastry: Cut each puff pastry sheet lengthwise into two long, even rectangles. You’ll have four rectangles in total.
Add the Relish and Sausage: Spread about 2 ½ tablespoons of Ballymaloe Relish on each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border along the edges. Roll the sausage mixture into long logs and place one log down the center of each pastry rectangle.
Wrap the Pastry: Brush one edge of the pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the other side over the sausage log. Press gently to seal the edges.
Cut into Rolls: Slice each long roll into thirds, creating 12 individual sausage rolls. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Egg Wash and Bake: Brush the tops of each roll with the remaining beaten egg. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed and the sausage is fully cooked.
Serve: Serve the sausage rolls warm with extra Ballymaloe Relish on the side—or go bold and drizzle it right on to
