Gourmet Sausage Roll

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 yellow onion, diced
Dash of vegetable oil
1lb bulk sausage
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup New Canaan Farms Onion & Garlic Jam
½ cup cream cheese or Boursin
1 beaten egg, for basting

Serve with

Mustard, green vegetables and more Onion & Garlic Jam!

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Put the oil into a deep frying pan and add the onions, cooking and stirring on a medium heat for around 5 minutes until they start to turn translucent.
• Add the sausage, breaking it up and stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Season and add the spinach, combining gently until it wilts down into the mixture. Leave to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle your countertop with a little flour and roll out the puff pastry. Place the pastry onto your baking sheet, then spoon and spread around ½ cup New Canaan Farms Caramelized Onion & Garlic Jam on the center section of the pastry. Dot the cheese on top.

• Spoon the sausage mixture on top of the cheese jam base, heaping so that it stays in the center section and leaving a little pastry unfilled at each end (you’ll see from the images that I did not do such a good job here!)
• Cut the remaining two sides of pastry into diagonal strips, then fold in the ends of the pastry and weave the strips across each other, tucking everything in so the sausage mixture is secure.
• Baste with the beaten egg then pop in the oven and bake for 20-25 mins, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
• Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve with leafy green vegetables and a little more Onion & Garlic Jam!
