Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6. Put the sausagemeat in a bowl with the ras el hanout, onion, herbs, breadcrumbs, cranberries and a good grind of black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Unroll the pastry, cut in half lengthways to make 2 long rectangles, then dampen the edge of a short side and join the rectangles to make one very long rectangle. Spoon the chutney down one half of the rectangle, then shape the sausagemeat mix into a roll the length of the pastry and lay it on top of the chutney. Brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg.
  3. Roll up the pastry to seal in the sausagemeat, then arrange in a circle on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make 20 cuts two thirds of the way through the sausage roll, then gently twist each piece to face upwards to help it stay separate.
  4. Brush the pastry with beaten egg wash, sprinkle with nigella seeds, then bake for 30-35 minutes until the pastry and sausagemeat are cooked through. Sprinkle with rosemary sprigs and bay leaves, then serve with extra chutney.

  1. Bake the wreath up to a day ahead, cover and chill. Warm in a hot oven to serve. Or make the wreath to the end of step 3, glaze with the egg wash and sprinkle with nigella seeds, then wrap well and freeze for up to 1 month. Cook from frozen, adding an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time.

  2. Ras el hanout is a spice mix of North African origin, commonly used in tagines. Made from spices including cinnamon, coriander, cardamom and nutmeg – and, usually, dried rose petals – it’s now available in supermarkets.
