Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, finely sliced
150g free-range British sausagemeat
150g free-range British pork mince
Bunch of fresh sage, leaves picked and finely sliced (about 10 leaves)
375g ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry

Method

Heat the oil in a small frying pan, then gently fry the shallots for 10 minutes until soft. Transfer to a mixing bowl to cool. Add the sausagemeat, pork mince and sliced sage to the bowl, season and mix well. To test if the seasoning is right, fry a little of the mixture in a pan until cooked, then season to taste.
Unroll the pastry sheet and spread evenly with the pork mixture, leaving a 1cm border around each edge. Roll up each long side to halfway so they meet in the middle. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or wrap well in cling film and freeze until ready to cook).
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Cut the chilled roll into slices about 7mm thick, then arrange over 2 baking sheets, leaving a 5cm gap between each slice as they’ll spread a little as they cook. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed. Serve warm.
