Sausage Rolls

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cold roast veal, finely chopped (Or substitute with cold roast chicken)
• 8 ounces Cold ham, finely chopped (Or substitute with cold tongue)
• 1 teaspoon Dried mixed herbs (thyme, sage, parsley) (Powdered or finely ground)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (Adjust to taste)
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (For pastry)
• 0.5 cup Semolina flour (soojee) (Fine semolina)
• 0.67 cup Beef suet, finely chopped or grated (Or substitute with cold butter)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (For pastry)
• 0.5 cup Cold water (Approximately, for dough)

Instructions

1. 1Finely chop the cold roast veal and ham together until very small and well combined. Place in a mixing bowl.
2. 2Add the dried herbs, salt, and cayenne pepper to the chopped meat. Mix thoroughly until all seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
3. 3Finely chop or grate the beef suet. Shape it into a flat circular cake about 6 inches in diameter.
4. 4In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt for pastry. Add cold water gradually and knead until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
5. 5Shape each portion of dough into a flat circular cake, each about 6 inches in diameter, the same size as the suet cake.
6. 6Place the suet cake between the two flour dough cakes, creating a sandwich. Roll the three layers together into a single sheet. Fold the pastry in half, then in half again. Roll out again into a sheet about 1/4 inch thick.
7. 7Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
8. 8Cut the rolled pastry into rectangles approximately 4x5 inches. Place 3 tablespoons of the seasoned meat mixture in the center of each rectangle, shaping it into a log. Roll the pastry around the filling, sealing the edges by pressing with your fingers or a fork. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
9. 9Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
10. 10Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. These rolls can be enjoyed hot or cold and are excellent for picnics, parties, or travel.
