Meals for Under £10: Halloween mummified sausage rolls

IT’S Halloween and if you’ve got youngsters visiting, they’ll love these spooky sausage rolls, specially created by Aldi.

They’re really simple to make and use hardly any ingredients, so if your youngsters like getting busy in the kitchen, they’ll love “helping” you, too!

Best served warm, just out of the oven.

You’ll need

454g pork sausages (or a pack of eight thick sausages)

2 tbsp caramelised onion chutney

1 sheet puff pastry

2 tbsp of either peas/sweetcorn/olives

1 egg

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160C fan/gas mark 4/350°F. Remove skin from the sausages.

On a large piece of cling film, spread the sausage meat into a long sheet and flatten to 14cm width.

Spoon a thin column of the chutney along the middle of the sausage meat.

Seal the chutney in by bringing the sausage meat around on both sides using the cling film and press the meat together.

Freeze the sausage log for 10 to 15 minutes to make it easier to work with.

Remove the pastry from the fridge and cut into 1cm thick strips. Lay the strips on a piece of baking parchment unevenly.

Place the sausage meat log on to the pastry strips. Wrap the strips roughly around the sausage meat from top to bottom leaving a 4cm gap half the way down for the face.

Cut the log into eight pieces. Stud the two “eyes” into the face

Put the sausage roll on to a baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.

Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

It’s not just humans preparing for Halloween- dogs are dressing up too!
