❄️ Cold Snap Incoming? We’ve Got the Ultimate Comfort Food! ❄️
There is absolutely nothing quite like a hot, flaky sausage roll when the temperature drops. But if you want to elevate your winter baking, try making them with Lovat Venison Mince!
It’s lean, packed with flavor, and makes this cozy treat a slightly less guilty pleasure.
✨ Pro-Tip: If you want a quick, lighter alternative to traditional pastry, use wraps instead! They come up incredibly crisp and delicious, plus it makes it super easy to keep the recipe Keto or Gluten-Free depending on the wraps you choose.
Here is a super simple, endlessly customisable recipe to try:
Lovat Venison "Sausage" Rolls
Ingredients:
500g Lovat Venison Mince
(No egg or breadcrumbs required here—our venison binds beautifully on its own!)
½ small onion, diced
1 carrot, grated
½ cup cheese, grated
1 large handful of ripped baby spinach
½ cup sauce (Tomato, BBQ, Plum, or your favorite chutney/relish)
2 tsp grainy mustard
A good shake of garlic granules
Spicecraft Pimped Pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Spicecraft No Bagel No Bagel (or sesame seeds) for topping
Your choice of pastry sheets or wraps
Method:
Mix: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the venison mince, onion, carrot, cheese, spinach, sauce, mustard, garlic granules, and Pimped Pepper.
Assemble: Lay your pastry or wrap flat. Place the filling down the middle in a neat log shape.
Roll: Roll the wrap or pastry tightly around the meat, ensuring the seam ends up at the bottom.
Finish: Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with Spicecraft No Bagel or sesame seeds.
Bake: Pop them in the oven at 180°C for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
So easy, so delicious, and the perfect way to warm up this week. 🦌✨
