I am taking part in “The Serious Foodie Blogger Recipe Challenge” and I have to say that I have been blown away by the products they sent me to work with! These spices and sauces pack some serious flavor and I have really enjoyed working with them! First up is my Appetizer entry - "Chinese BBQ Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls with Sweet Chili Cilantro Sauce". Flaky buttery puff pastry surrounds a Chinese BBQ spiced sausage that is completely addictive thanks to brown sugar, sesame, ginger, star anise, sichuan chili, tangerine zest and loads of other spices that will make your house smell amazing. After a dunk in the sweet, spicy and tangy Vietnamese Sweet Chili Hot Sauce you'll wish you made 2 batches!
Chinese BBQ Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls with Sweet Chili Cilantro Sauce
1 pound ground pork
½ pound ground chicken
1/3 cup finely minced shallot
1/3 cup plus ½ teaspoon The Serious Foodie Chinese BBQ Spice Rub
2 eggs, divided
1 box puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed but still cold
2 Tablespoons minced cilantro
1 (6 ounce) jar The Serious Foodie Vietnamese Sweet Chili Hot Sauce
Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the pork, chicken, minced shallot, 1/3 cup Chinese BBQ Spice Rub and 1 of the eggs together.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg with a few tablespoons of water.
Gently unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured board and cut each piece in half lengthwise.
Place ¼ of the meat mixture in a log shape along the bottom long sides of each of the puff pastry sheets.
Brush the top long sides with egg wash and roll, sealing the sausage mixture inside and letting the egg wash act as the glue.
Cut each roll into 8 equal sections, place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the remaining egg wash.
Sprinkle with the remaining Chinese BBQ Spice Rub and place in the oven to bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and the meat is cooked through.
In a small serving bowl whisk together the cilantro and Vietnamese Sweet Chili Hot Sauce.
Serve the rolls hot with dipping sauce.
