Tomatoey sausage rolls
Makes 16

Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/gas mark 6. On a floured surface, roll out 500g puff pastry to a rectangle measuring about 45 x 30cm. Cut the rectangle in half lengthways, then cut both smaller rectangles into eight equal sections to form 16 rectangles in total. Cut 8 good quality sausages in half. Brush one end of each pastry rectangle with some beaten egg. Place a dollop of tomato relish at the other end, lay half of a sausage on top and season with salt and black pepper. Roll the sausage up in the pastry to enclose, then repeat with the remaining pastry and sausages. Place on a baking tray and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Remove the sausage rolls and score the tops with a sharp knife. Brush all over with the rest of the beaten egg and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden-brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
