Ingredients

For the suet pastry

  • 250 g gluten free plain flour
  • 100 g gluten free vegetable suet [see recipe in notes]
  • 1 tbsp Colman's Mustard Powder not ready made English Mustard as this is not gluten free
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp psyllium husk powder (optional)
  • 3 tbsp water to make the flaxseed egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley if using dried use only 1 tbsp
  • salt & pepper to taste

For the sausage filling

  • 6 gluten free sausages I used Tesco Finest, you can use vegan sausages to make this a vegan dinner
  • 200 g sweet potatoe(s) diced up into fingernail sized chunks
  • bunch of spring onions you only need the green tops for colour and flavour

For the glaze

  • 1 tsp gluten free Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp dairy free milk I use soya milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C | 170°C | 375°F | Gas 5

To make the sausage filling

  • Snip the end of each sausage and squeeze the meat out of its skins into the bowl of veg (unusually satisfying this bit!). If making this a vegan dish you probably won't need to do this as vegan sausages tend not to have 'skins'.
  • In a large bowl add the diced sweet potato and spring onion tops.
  • Mix the sausage and vegetable ingredients together. To do this I get my hands messy and mush the ingredients together. Once fully mixed set aside to make you suet pastry.

To make the suet pastry

  • If using a flaxseed egg make this first, add the flaxseed and psyllium husk powder to a small jug, add 3 tbsp of water and mix to combine.
  • In a large bowl add the flour, gluten free suet, fresh chopped parsley, mustard powder, salt and pepper. Then add your flax egg which will have thickened by now.
  • Using a rounded knife or pastry cutter/blender blend the ingredients to combine. Now add the 150ml of cold water one tablespoon at a time, keep cutting through the mixture until it comes together in a sticky dough. The idea is to not totally blend the suet into the dough.
  • Tip the sticky dough onto a well floured surface and gently roll out or press into a circle with the palms of your hands.
  • Place the sausage mixture in the centre of the pastry.
  • Now take the edges of the pastry and fold them up over the sausage meat to create a giant ball - don't worry if the pastry doesn't completely cover the meat, this will be the bottom of the dinner roll.
  • Turn the Sausage Dinner Roll over on to a baking sheet (I use a silicone baking mat). Brush the top of the roll with the Worcestershire Sauce glaze, sprinkle with salt and pop into the oven for 40mins.
  • Serve piping hot with your choice of veggies and gluten free gravy.

Notes

Ingredients
100g vegetable lard (solid white fat)
200g gluten free plain flour
 
Instructions
Simply cut the lard into cubes in a large bowl, add the flour and using your fingers or a pastry blender work until you have a large breadcrumb texture.
To achieve a classic suet look you could use a potato ricer and store in the same way. I have added links to kitchen gadgets below.
Any suet you do not use for this recipe can be placed in a Tupperware container and left in the fridge or freezer for up to 3 months.
Recipes to use your gluten free suet are Jam Roly Poly, Steak & Kidney Pudding and dumplings to name but a few.
