Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

1 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)

200g (about 7 oz) pork sausage (or vegetarian sausage if preferred)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cook the Filling:

      - In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

        - Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

          - Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

            - Stir in the pumpkin puree, sage, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

              Prepare the Pastry:

                - Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth the seams and slightly thin it. Cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 4 inches by 6 inches.

                  Assemble the Rolls:

                    - Spoon a generous amount of the pumpkin and sausage mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving some space around the edges.

                      - Fold the top half down over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are sealed well.

                        Egg Wash:

                          - Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of each roll. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture.

                            Bake:

                              - Place the assembled sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

                                Serve:

                                  - Allow the sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delightful warm or at room temperature. Serve with a side of apple chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
