Sausage Feta Olive Phyllo Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion, celery, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain. Stir in walnuts, cranberries, sugar, pepper and cayenne. Remove from pan; cool completely., Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush lightly with butter. Layer with four additional phyllo sheets, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.), Arrange 1/3 cup spinach, a fourth of the sausage mixture and 1 tablespoon roasted peppers in a narrow row across bottom of phyllo within 1 in. of edges. Fold bottom edge of phyllo over filling, then roll up. Brush end of phyllo dough with butter and press to seal. Repeat three times. Place rolls on a 15x10x1-in. baking pan, seam side down., Cut rolls diagonally into 1-in. pieces (do not separate). Brush tops with remaining butter; brush again with beaten egg. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and keep nearby.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat, until the mushroom mixture is very tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the turkey, cream cheese, and Cheddar until well blended.
• Place 1 sheet of phyllo with the short side facing you on a work surface. (Cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.) Spray the phyllo sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Then fold it in half lengthwise and spray again. Place 1 heaping tablespoon filling in the center of the bottom end of the phyllo. Fold in the sides, then roll up from the bottom to completely enclose the filling (it should look like an egg roll). Place the roll, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, nonstick cooking spray, and filling to make a total of 16 rolls.
• Spray the rolls generously with nonstick cooking spray and bake until the rolls until lightly golden, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, pork fatback, coriander, garlic, mint, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight.
• At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, place all of your tools (including the meat grinder parts, stand mixer bowl, stand mixer paddle attachment and sausage stuffer parts) in the freezer to chill.
• Using your meat grinder, grind the marinated meat mixture through the small die plate into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then return the mixture to the mixer. Add the feta, olive oil and wine and beat on medium speed using the chilled paddle attachment until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Stuff the sausages (see Cook's Note) and, for best results, refrigerate overnight.
• Before cooking, pierce each sausage several times with a pin. Grill over medium heat until the center registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages.) Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve the sausages with the tomato salad.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet along with the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add sliced fennel and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they release their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved sausage, and stir to combine. Remove from heat, and let cool completely. Stir in feta cheese and parsley; set filling aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one piece of dough to a 16-by-11-inch rectangle. Trim to 15 by 10 inches. Cut into 6 squares (5 inches each). With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour. Place 1/2 cup filling in the center of each square. Fold up all four corners around the filling, so that the points meet in the center but do not touch (leave about 1/4 inch of space between them). Repeat with remaining piece of dough and filling. Transfer to prepared baking sheets.
• Brush tops of dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with fennel seeds. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until pies are golden brown and filling is set, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet cook the sausage over moderate heat, stirring and breaking up the lumps, until it is cooked through and transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Add the oil to the skillet, in the fat cook the onion and the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, and in a bowl stir together the sausage, the onion mixture, the Feta, the red peppers, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the bread crumbs, the parsley, the eggs, and salt and pepper to taste.
• On a work surface arrange 1 strip of the phyllo with a short side facing you, brush it lightly with some of the butter, and put 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling about 1 inch from the bottom end of the strip. Fold the lower right corner of the strip up over the filling, forming a triangle of the folded phyllo, continue to fold the filled triangle up the entire length of the strip, and brush the triangle lightly with some of the butter. Form more triangles in the same manner with the remaining phyllo, filling, and butter, transferring them to baking sheets as they are formed. The triangles may be made 1 week in advance and kept frozen in airtight containers. Do not thaw the triangles before baking. Bake the triangles in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden.

Steps:

• Remove sausage from its casing and place in a medium howl. Add feta cheese, chopped olives and parsley and mix to combine. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place olive oil in a small bowl. Place a sheet of the phyllo pastry on a large work surface, with widest side horizontally in front of you. Brush the sheet lightly with olive oil, and then top it with another sheet of phyllo pastry. Brush the top sheet lightly with olive oil. Take half of the sausage mixture and make a lengthwise row of it at the bottom end of the pastry closest to you. Carefully - and tightly - roll the pastry up into a long cylinder. Brush the top of the roll lightly with olive oil. With a very sharp knife, carefully cut the phyllo sausage roll into 12 pieces and set them on the baking sheet. Cover the prepared rolls with plastic wrap. Layer, fill, roll and cut the last two sheets of phyllo as you did the first two. (At this point, the rolls can be tightly covered and refrigerated for several hours until ready to bake. They can also be frozen, and baked from frozen (don't thaw - they'll become too soggy), adding a few minutes more to the cooking time, if needed.) Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the rolls for 20 to 22 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Arrange rolls on a serving platter and serve with a bowl of warm pasta sauce for dipping.
