Thai Chicken Sausage Roll
Note: I ate this sausage roll at a cafe once, and have tried to re-create 
the recipe. I haven't actually tried making it yet, so I don't know if it's
any good.
what you need

500g chicken mince
1/2 onion, grated
1/2 carrot, grated
2 tbls fresh coriander, chopped
1 tbls sesame oil
dash soy sauce
pinch salt
2 sheets puff pastry
milk
sesame seeds

what you do

Mix together the meat, onion, carrot and seasonings.
Divide the mixture into two and place down the centre of each sheet of puff
pastry. Fold the pastry over and seal with milk. Cut off any excess pastry.
Turn the rolls over and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Cut decorative slits in them, brush with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 180oC for half an hour, or until golden brown. 
Serve with sweet chilli sauce.



Highland Sausage Roll
 
what you need

500g pork mince
60g prunes
1 onion, finely chopped
250ml strong cold tea
3 tbls port
2 tbls Worcestershire sauce
black pepper
salt
1 pkt puff pastry
1 egg, beaten

what you do

Mix the meat, onion, port, pepper and Worcestershire sauce together. In a 
separate bowl, mix the prunes and tea together. Leave both to sit for several
hours. 
Season the meat with a little salt and shape it into one large sausage shape.
Place it in the centre of the pastry. Pit the prunes if necessary and lay them
down the length of the meat. 
Fold over the pastry and seal the sides and the end of the sausage roll with 
beaten egg. Cut a few slits for steam to escape. Alternatively, cut the pastry 
and plait it over the top. 
Place on a damp baking tray and bake at 200oC for 25 minutes.
