Venison Sausage Rolls
- 1/2 pound ground venison
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary leaves
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 sheets puff pastry dough (often sold in 17 or 18-ounce packages containing 2 (9 or 10-inch) square sheets of puff pastry)
- 2 eggs, beaten for egg wash
- Make "sausage" mixture by mixing venison, pork, eggs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, onion, and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Saute sausage mixture over medium-high heat on the stovetop until browned, using a wooden spoon to keep the texture of the mixture "fine" (not chunky) while cooking.
- Drain the meat mixture well and set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out each puff pastry sheet and cut each of the 4 sheets into 4 squares, yielding 16 squares.
- (These will be 4 1/2 or 5-inch square.)
- Spread the "sausage" mixture, over the surface of each of the 16 squares and roll up the dough "jelly roll" style (so the cross-section of the roll will be a spiral design), seal dough on the ends by crimping, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.
