450g/1lb sausage meat (you can easily push the meat out from the skins of readymade sausages)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
450g/1lb ready-rolled puff pastry
1 free-range egg
beaten
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the mushrooms until soft. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add the Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco sauce
thyme and sausage meat and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Roll the puff pastry out into a large rectangle
then cut into two long rectangles.
Place a layer of sausage meat mixture down the middle of each pastry rectangle
then brush each with beaten egg on one edge.
Fold the other side of the pastry over onto the egg-washed edge. Press down to seal and trim any excess. Cut each pastry roll into 8-10 small sausage rolls.
Place the sausage rolls onto a baking tray and transfer to the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes
or until crisp and golden and the sausage meat is completely cooked through.
