| Sausage & Apple Filo Roll |
After I started writing out
the ingredients to this recipe I realised this could have a number of
names. I immediately christened it Sausage & Apple Filo Roll
because I wanted to highlight the apple in it but I could have easily
called it Sausage, Sage & Onion Filo Roll. Essentially it is a
jumbo sausage roll that is easy to make, quick to cook and ensures
clean plates from all the family.
The main elements I found in
the reduced section of the supermarket and was able to freeze them.
The filo sheets were 39p and the sausagemeat was £1.14.
The dried apple should been
£2.49 but for some reason Sainsbury's had reduced all the 250g
packets to just 25p. I'm not sure if this was due to them changing
the packaging or discontinuing them all together. I hope it's the
former as they've become quite a find. Although they are described as
'dried' they're not the dehydrated hard slices you find in cereal
mixes. Instead they are more like jelly sweets. This makes them
perfect for baking with as they still hold their shape rather than
going to complete mush that fresh apple has a tendency to do.
The thrifty nature of this
new family favourite meal means I will be submitting it for Fuss

Ooh that looks really tasty and I have some unused Filo in my freezer, don't know why but I've been scared to use it! Thank you for entering Credit Crunch Munch with this thrifty dish!
ReplyDeleteI think people are scared of using filo because it can be very fiddly but as this recipe uses full sheets laid out most of that problem is eliminated. Also it can be tricky to get the timing right otherwise it can burn very quickly. I've made this twice now with the same oven temperature and cooking time and I seemed to have judged it right (although more luck than judgement probably!).
