Grand Final Sausage Rolls

September 26, 2020 By admin Leave a Comment

Today should be the Australian Rules Football Grand Final – it is always the last Saturday in September. Thanks to COVID-19 and a late start to a shortened competition, the Final is going to be a month late.

Nevertheless, why not still make Grand Final Sausage Rolls. Eat some today and freeze some for next month! It’s a Win-win (unlike the actual game)!

Here’s the recipe that I made up today. It’s pretty good.

750g pork mince
2 eshallots (or 1/2 onion) diced finely and sauteed
1 grated carrot
4 tsp garlic
1 tbsp + 1 tsp freshly, coarsely  ground fennel seeds (measure after you grind them)
1 tbsp cracked black pepper
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 – 1 cup fresh bread crumbled

4 sheets puff pastry
1 egg for brushing
Sesame seeds

Tomato and Haloumi Pesto Pasta

Here’s a simple vegetarian pasta that I made up the other night. Slice half a large leek thinly. Saute it gently in butter until soft. Add 1/3 cup of white wine and reduce. When half of the liquid has evaporated, add halved cherry tomatoes and continue to simmer until the liquid reduces some more. Add…

THE COOK

I now cook on Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, having moved recently from the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Meanwhile our Adelaide Hills garden has cherry, peach, almond, citrus, olive, pomegranate and fig trees which are suffering neglect! Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit.
