Gluten Free Sausage Plait

This Gluten Free Sausage Plait is really simple to make, especially if, like me, you use ready made gluten free pastry! I've added apple for moisture and celery for a little crunch but this meal is so flexible so have fun with it and add your own twist. Perfect for picnics too, plus can be made vegetarian and vegan if using suitable plant based sausages.

Ingredients

  • 1 Jus-Rol Gluten Free Puff I use ready rolled JusRol
  • 6 gluten free sausages
  • 1 stick celery chopped finely
  • 1 small carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 small eating apple peeled, cored and chopped
  • parsley fresh or dried
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • Roll out pastry (if in a block) to half a centimetre thickness, otherwise unroll your pastry sheet
  • TOP TIP: if using ready rolled gluten free puff pastry, take it out of the fridge for 10mins before using. It's easier to work with and apparently gets a better rise if room temperature?
  • Cut the ends off the sausages and squeeze the meat out of the skins into a large bowl.
  • Add the finely diced celery, carrot and apple, a pinch or two of parsley and seasoning if you think it necessary.
  • Add the sausage meat down the centre of the pastry length ways.
  • Cut the pastry either side of the sausage meat at a slight downward angle - I made each strip about 1-2cm thick.
  • From the top overlap a strip on each side - right to left, left to right and so on until you've reached the bottom.
  • Brush the plait with the beaten egg and add a touch of salt and cracked pepper.
  • Cook on middle shelf at 200°C | 180°C | 400°F | Gas 6 for 35-40 mins - you may need to cover to prevent over-browning.
    TOP TIP: you know the sausage meat is cooked when the meat juices run out the sides of the pastry.
  • Serve immediately if making a mid-week meal or allow to cool for picnics and ploughman's.
