Sausage Roll

400 g ground pork
200 g ground beef
300 g “pate brisee” (dough)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1~2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch salt and pepper
Pinch four spice powder
1 egg
Butter

1. Melt some butter in a frying pan. Add the garlic and onion and sauté until onion is tender.

2. Mix together the ground pork, beef, salt & pepper, four spice powder and onion mixture until well-blended. Place mixture in the fridge for a few hours to allow flavours to “blend”.
Prepare the dough. Roll it out on a piece of wax paper. Lightly beat the egg and brush it onto the dough.

3. Place meat mixture onto the dough and shape it into a log. Wrap the dough around the meat mixture, brushing exposed sides of dough with egg as you wrap.

4. Place the log onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake 45 minutes-1 hour in a preheated 400F oven, or until the meat is fully cooked.

5. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing log into slices.
