Directions
- For the tomato relish
- grind the cumin seeds to a fine powder in a pestle and mortar. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining tomato relish ingredients (except for the parsley)
- until well combined. Season
- to taste
- with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
- or until needed. Stir in the parsley just before serving.
- For the sausage rolls
- pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
- Roll out the pastry onto a lightly floured work surface to the thickness of pound coin. Make a long rectangle measuring at least 10-15cm/4-6in in width.
- In a bowl
- mix together the garlic
- sage
- leftover stuffing and sausage meat until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
- Roll the stuffing mixture into a sausage shape that’s a little shorter than the long side of the pastry.
- Lay the stuffing mixture on top of the pastry rectangle
- close to one long side of the rectangle. Brush the pastry all over with beaten egg. Roll the pastry over the stuffing mixture and press the edges to seal well.
- Brush the top with the remaining egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Cut into six equal-sized sausage rolls. Transfer to a baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes
- or until the pastry has risen and is golden-brown and the filling is cooked through.
- Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve with the tomato relish in dipping bowls alongside.
