Story Behind the Sausage
Here is a little history on how these delicious, golden brown Australian Sausage Rolls came to be a favorite family recipe. My husband, Beau, lived in Australia for two years and these homemade sausage rolls were one of his favorite things to eat. He begged me for years to make them for him. I was hesitant because I didn’t want him to be disappointed if they didn’t taste the same as he remembered. Since I had never had them myself, it was a little hard to know if I was making them correctly. Many of the Australian ingredients are different than the ingredients we find here in the United States. There was no way to tell if they would end up tasting the same. I finally got up the courage to give them a shot and read several Australian recipes before adapting my own version that seemed the closest to the type that my husband loved. I am relieved to tell you that they got his high approval! He said that they tasted perfect and brought back all kinds of memories of his time there! Yay!
Ingredients in Australian Sausage Rolls
First of all, quality, fresh sausage is the key to making delicious Australian Sausage Rolls. The unique blend of signature seasonings found in Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage makes it the perfect sausage for this recipe. It has the best flavor! It is the only sausage mixture I use in this recipe. For an extra kick, I sometimes use the Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Hot Sausage.Next, you’ll need puff pastry sheets. You can find pastry sheets at any grocery store, usually in the freezer section. Then, some breadcrumbs, milk, minced garlic and paprika to add into your sausage mixture. You could also use additional spices like garlic powder or onion powder if you have some on hand.Add equal portions of salt and pepper for seasoning.Finally, an egg wash on top gives these rolls that golden, delicious crust.
Dips and sauces to serve with Australian Sausage Rolls
Sausage Rolls are REALLY popular in Australia and Europe, you can easily buy them but people make them all the time too. When cut a little smaller, these sausage rolls are commonly served for breakfast, lunch, and as an appetizer. Australians will sometimes dip them in ketchup, which is more of a tomato sauce than the ketchup we have here in the United States. Australian Sausage Rolls taste really good on their own. Try dipping in barbecue sauce, mustard, marinara sauce, alfredo sauce, country gravy, or cheese sauce for an added delicious flavor.
