These flavor-packed sausage rolls are made using a combination of ground pork and Cajun seasoning. Starting from plain ground pork means the flavors are cleaner and the texture better than any sausage roll you can buy. And because the steam in the Anova Precision Oven does amazing things to pastry, this flavorful meat mix has an incredibly flaky crust. They're always first to go at a party! You can use either your favorite store-bought Cajun seasoning in this recipe, or you can make one yourself. Combine two parts each of paprika, kosher salt, and garlic powder; one part each black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, oregano and cayenne pepper; and 1/2 part of dried thyme. If your store-bought seasoning mix doesn’t contain salt, add 1 tsp fine salt to the meat mixture.

1 cup (100g)

1.5 Tbsp
Cajun seasoning (see note)

Steps

1. Preheat Oven

Rack
Sous Vide Mode: Off
Steam: 60%
Temp: 374°F
Heat: Rear

2. Prepare the Filling

Place the onions in a food processor and process until they're very finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and add the pork, breadcrumbs, and Cajun seasoning. Use your hands and really squash and scrunch everything together to make a sticky mixture. If you want to prep ahead, you can put the meat mixture into the fridge at this point and keep it there for up to 4 hours.

3. Portion the Filling

When you're ready to make the rolls, press the filling down in the bowl to make an even circle. Use a butter knife to divide the circle into 6 wedges.

4. Assemble the Sausage Rolls

Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and cut each square in half so you have 6 rectangles. Place one portion of filling onto each piece of pastry, squashing it into logs all the way along the long sides.

5. Roll Up and Cut the Sausage Rolls

Roll up each piece of pastry to tightly enclose the filling, seam side down. Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 4 pieces, then transfer to a parchment- or silicone mat-lined baking sheet.
