Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 450g (1 lb) ground pork sausage
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or rosemary/sage as alternatives)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Pastry & Finishing

  • 2 sheets puff pastry (regular or gluten-free)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Oil or butter, for caramelizing onions

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Thinly slice the sweet yellow onions and cook them slowly over low heat with a bit of oil or butter. Stir occasionally until the onions turn golden brown and develop a deep, sweet flavor, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Cook the Sausage: While the onions are caramelizing, brown the ground sausage in a separate pan. Break it apart as it cooks, seasoning lightly with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme for added depth of flavor.
  3. Combine Filling Ingredients: Once the sausage is cooked and the onions are caramelized, combine them in the pan along with the minced garlic. Stir everything together over low heat for a few minutes to allow the flavors to marry well.
  4. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut them into rectangles approximately 4×6 inches (10×15 cm) each, or size preferred for your rolls.
  5. Assemble the Rolls: Place a generous spoonful of the sausage and onion mixture along the center of each pastry rectangle. Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges by pressing with a fork or pinching together carefully to avoid bursting.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Brush each assembled roll with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Caramelize onions slowly to develop full flavor without burning.
  • Do not overfill to prevent the pastry from bursting.
  • Keep puff pastry chilled to maintain flaky, tender layers.
  • Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for brighter flavor.
  • Serve rolls warm for best texture and taste.
