Ingredients :

1.5 sheets of Pre-rolled Puff Pastry (see notes)
10.5oz / 300g Ground Pork (15%+ fat)
7oz / 200g Chorizo (see notes)
1/3 cup / 35g Dry Breadcrumbs, preferably Panko (see notes)
2 Eggs (1 beaten for egg wash)
1 medium Onion, very finely diced
1/2 medium Red Pepper, very finely diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fennel Seeds, crushed (see notes)
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Olive Oil, for frying

Instructions:

Fry your onion and pepper over medium heat until softened and just starting to catch colour. Add garlic and fry for a minute longer, then place in a bowl and leave to cool for a few minutes (important).
In the same bowl, add pork, chorizo, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, salt and pepper. Gently combine, then place to one side. Try not to overwork the meat or the sausage rolls will come out tough and chewy.
Unroll your pastry and cut into 4 equal sized rectangles (3 from 1 sheet and 1 from the other half, there will be a bit leftover). Evenly divide your meat across the rectangles and mould them into log shapes. Fold one side of the pastry over half of the meat, brush with egg wash and finish the roll so they end up seam-side down. Cut into 5 equal portions. See video for guidance on this.
Spread out on an oiled oven tray (you might need two), brush with egg wash and bake at 356F/180C for 25mins or until deep golden. Enjoy!
