It was a public holiday Monday which living in a Tourist Town means you could go somewhere as long as you pick the right direction but getting back would be Not Fun. So we spent our day cleaning, doing the washing and cooking.
My sausage roll recipe is super simple as long as you have a food processor. Throw in the quantities you like of the following vegetables –
Green capsicum (peppers)
Brussel Sprouts
Carrots
Leek
Whizz that up nice, then add 500g beef mince and one egg. Whizz that up some more, then lay the mince out on half a sheet of puff pastry, put egg wash on the opposite edge, and roll.
Once you have made enough to fill an oven tray, egg wash the tops of the sausage roll and sprinkle on a parmesan and herb mix. I tend to use my chip sprinkle which is paprika, garlic powder, parsley, mustard powder, black pepper, cinnamon, a touch of low sodium chicken stock powder, rosemary and any other herbs I feel like throwing in when I am making it.
We made 3x 500g beef mince packs. We ate a few for lunch, then all the other sausage rolls go in the freezer for a quick dinner at a later time. There’s 92 packaged up and frozen from this particular sausage roll venture plus a few to be heated up later for tonights dinner.
That’s what we’re cooking – what else is happening?
Watching – Chernobyl. We’re about to watch episode 3. Yes it is not an easy watch but it is an important watch.
Listening – to the Chernobyl podcast which goes along with the show.
Working – on a checklist for opening and closing the shop I work in – on Saturdays I now open and close and I have my own key. I am deeply enjoying my work and it is wonderful to be appreciated for the work I do, which is a novel concept after my last workplace where my boss really did not care or notice what I did.
Wondering – about the coincidences of life – my other half applied for one job which would work in better with going to Uni full time, he got the job and it turns out it is in the same building as the shop I work in. How bizarre is that?
Adding – a new treadmill to my space. A friend did not need theirs anymore so it came to live with us.
Eating – Thai Coconut Icecream which came as part of dinner we bought last week. The other food was just so-so but this icecream is amazing, I definitely want more of it.
Ordering – more protein as I am about to run out, it just arrived last week.
Wearing – my new brooches which arrived recently, they are gorgeous, especially the Bee. Click on this image for a larger view. :)
Those broaches are are so much fun. And I love sausage rolls. But please send the finished product, not the recipe!
Wow, I’m impressed with those broaches. I don’t know of many people who wear them. The Queen and you! I don’t think I’ve ever had a sausage roll.
Sure looks taste.
Coffee is on
The sausage rolls sound delicious. R can make sausage rolls, but doesn’t anymore :(
