Pigs in Blankets
INGREDIENTS
Serves 8
8 rashers of smoked, streaky bacon
8 good quality, chipolata sausages
small bunch of fresh sage leaves
olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas mark 6.
- Begin by laying the bacon rashers on a clean, flat surface.
- Place two or three sage leaves towards the end of each rasher and place a sausage on top of them (at right angles to the bacon).
- Now roll up the bacon nice and tightly to form a neat parcel.
If you are not planning to cook the rolls immediately, they can now be refrigerated or frozen.
- Lightly grease a baking tray with the olive oil and evenly space the rolls onto it. Season with freshly milled black pepper.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
These pigs in blankets make a wonderful side dish for traditional roast turkey especially when served with stuffing balls and
homemade bread sauce.
