Giant Pig In A Blanket Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Working with one sausage at a time, lay a rosemary sprig on top and wrap a bacon rasher around it.
• Put the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet and drizzle with the oil. Roast for 25-30 mins, until golden brown and cooked through.

Steps:

• For the crepe: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the flour in parts, then slowly add the milk, sugar, melted butter and salt. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the batter to a 12-inch nonstick skillet and cook crepe on one side for 2 to 3 minutes before flipping. Repeat for the remaining batter.
• For the chutney: In a saute pan, over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add the wine, brown sugar, cinnamon, apples, star anise, cloves and salt and pepper. Allow this mixture to cook and reduce/fuse the flavors together for 20 minutes. Then add the remaining butter.
• For the sausage: Heat an oiled cast-iron pan over medium heat and brown the sausage on all sides until cooked through, about 8 minutes, then remove and reserve. Add the sage to the hot sausage grease until crisp, 10 to 15 seconds, and remove to paper towel with a slotted spoon.
• For the sandwich build: Lay out the warm crepes and place a sausage in the center, add a dollop of mascarpone on top and roll like a pig in a blanket. Place some apple compote on top and garnish with some fried sage-kill it with a knife and fork!!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a work surface. Separate into 4 rectangles made up of 2 triangles each; press the triangles together at the perforations. Brush lightly with some of the beaten egg. Sprinkle the cheese over the dough rectangles and press lightly to adhere.
• Place a sausage along a short end of one dough rectangle and roll up tightly, pressing the dough around the sausage to eliminate any gaps. Pinch the seam to seal. Repeat with the remaining sausages and dough rectangles. Using a serrated knife, cut each dough-wrapped sausage into 4 pieces.
• Place the pieces seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the dough with more beaten egg. Bake until the dough is puffed and browned and the sausages are heated through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve with honey mustard for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together the poppy seeds, garlic, onion and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until the butter is broken down into very small pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Using a fork, stir the dry ingredients into the wet.
• Once the dough comes together, knead it gently a couple of times on a well-floured surface. Roll out the dough to a little thinner than 1/8 inch. Cut as many 1 1/2-by-3-inch rectangles as you can. (You should get at least 30 pieces.) Place a mini hot dog onto each rectangle and roll it up, making sure the short ends overlap; seal and arrange seam-side down 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Brush each dough-wrapped hot dog with the egg and top with 2 generous pinches of the topping.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve with mustard on the side, for dipping.
