Tips on buying sausages
Firstly let’s cover the basics of the sausage roll filling. There are two options.
- Buy your own pork sausage meat and flavour it exactly how you wish.
- An easier option is to buy pork sausages then remove the sausage casing before cooking (this stops them from curling up as they cook).
Whether you buy sausage meat or sausages, read the label carefully to ensure it has at least 80% meat. A quick and easy guide to what has gone into a sausage(as some labels don’t state clearly what is inside), is to look at the carbohydrate value.
If they state it has 1% or 2% carbs, then you know the majority of the sausage will be made of meat or fat. I have seen sausages saying 80% meat but the label states 10% carbs. You know these willhave a lot of fillers such as rice, wheat or sugar in them.
Avoid sausages such as rosemary and honey, sticky Chinese, or pork and apple for example. These are high in natural sugars.
Top Tip – check those ‘gluten-free’ sausages. They might not have wheat or gluten, but they can be packed with rice as the starchy filler.
I prefer to cook my sausages first for the Fat Head sausage rolls. I simply run a sharp knife down the centre of each sausage to split the sausage skin. Using the knife, peel back, remove and discard the skins.
Place each sausage meat on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Bake at 180C/350F for 10-15 minutes until just cooked (they will cook again once wrapped in the Fat Head pastry).
How to wrap sausages with keto dough
While the sausages are cooking, you can make the Fat Head pastry. Roll it out as shown in this post, on baking parchment paper.
Place the cooked sausages along one edge of the pastry. Using the baking parchment, roll the pastry around the sausages then cut the excess off with a knife. It is similar to how you might make sushi, only Fat Head style.
Remove the baking parchment, and cut into small, medium or large sausage rolls. Sprinkle some onion flakes on top for that real sausage roll taste (or you could use sesame seeds).
Place each Fat Head sausage roll on a lined baking tray and bake as per the recipe below.
For those of you with nut allergies, I have discovered you can make Fat Head pastry with coconut flour. It sometimes turns out a little heavier than using the original almond flour/meal recipe, but it works.
To serve, I use salsa (with no added sugar and less than 5% carbs), sugar-free BBQ sauce, or homemade sugar-free ketchup.
Fat Head sausage rolls are brilliant for school lunch boxes, a picnic, snack or dinner served with a huge side salad or veggies.
So never have a plain sausage again, pimp those bad boys with Fat Head pastry.
