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!
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?)
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!
