Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait is a delicious mix of sausage meat, carrot, red onion, green chillies and sweet chilli sauce all wrapped up in a puff pastry plait. Great hot for dinner or cold for a picnic!

Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait = Fab Food 4 All



In celebration of British Sausage Week which runs from 2 – 8 November, I decided I wanted to make a sausage plait which became this Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait.

I have to admit that I’ve been intrigued by them ever since watching Nanny Pat on The Only Way is Essex as it seems to be her signature dish. (Did I just say that in public?)

Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait = Fab Food 4 All

So wanting to come up with my take on the humble sausage plait I decided to give it a makeover tailoring it to my family’s taste.

Being a big chilli lover and not wanting to make it too hot for my daughter, I embarked on a fusion of Asian and British cuisine by making a Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait.

If you like things hotter you could always add the seeds from the green chilli to notch up the heat!

To counteract the chilli I added some grated carrot and red onion for sweetness and then finished off with a layer of Thai sweet chilli sauce before wrapping in pastry.

I’m pleased to say this sausage plait went down a storm and has already been repeated. Serve it hot or cold (leftovers taste great and are perfect for a picnic)!

Enjoy with baked beans or a salad and then sit back and wait for the compliments!

    Tastes amazing, used home made sweet chili sauce, had the leftovers cold, and still as tasty, would make as a great picnic snack

      Thank you so much Roseanne, you’re right about a picnic snack, I took this to our street party one year and there wasn’t a slice left as everyone loved it:-) Love that you made it with your own chili sauce too!
