Spicy Sausage Roll

A spicy sausage roll is a bold and fiery twist on the classic, designed for those who crave a bit of heat with their savoury snack. Here’s what makes it exceptional:

• Golden and Flaky: Encased in buttery puff pastry, perfectly golden with a shattering crispness that contrasts beautifully with the filling.
• Infused Heat: For an extra kick, the pastry can be lightly dusted with chili powder or cayenne before baking, adding a subtle hint of spice to each bite.

• Rich and Juicy: Made from high-quality pork sausage meat, seasoned with classic herbs like sage and thyme for a savoury foundation.

• Chilies: Finely diced fresh chilies (such as red bird’s eye or jalapeños) bring immediate heat. For a smoky undertone, chipotle or smoked paprika can be added.
• Spiced Blend: Crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne, and a hint of cumin provide a layered, warming heat that builds with each bite.

• First Bite: The crisp pastry gives way to the juicy, flavourful filling, where the spice hits immediately but is perfectly balanced by the savoury sausage.
• Heat That Builds: Each bite intensifies the warmth, with bursts of chili and smoky undertones creating a lingering, satisfying heat.

• Dipping Sauces: Pair with cooling dips like yogurt-based tzatziki, a tangy lime aioli, or a sweet chili sauce to complement the spice.
• Beverages: A cold lager or a fruity cider works wonderfully to counterbalance the heat, while enhancing the sausage roll’s bold flavors.
