Spanakopita sausage rolls recipe

0 ratings

Inspired by the flavours of the classic Greek pastry, this sausage roll recipe is bursting with fresh and tangy flavours. We've swapped the traditional spinach in spanakopita for fresh greens, while the fennel and chilli sausages lend aromatic, spicy notes. These sausage rolls would be great for a lunchbox or picnic.

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the greens and garlic and stir-fry for 4 mins until wilted. Tip into a bowl to cool completely.
Remove the casings from the sausages and add the meat to the bowl of wilted greens. Crumble in the salad cheese and grate over the lemon zest. Season lightly and mix well.
Pour the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil into a bowl. Lay 1 filo pastry sheet out, brush with some oil and layer with another sheet of filo. Arrange half the sausage meat along the longest edge in a long log shape and roll up. Slice into 4 pieces. Arrange on the baking tray and brush with more oil. Repeat with another 2 sheets of filo and the remaining sausage meat. Sprinkle over the fennel seeds, then bake for 25 mins until golden and crisp.
Serve warm. Keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
