Ingredients

• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground pork sausage
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 0.5 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together ground pork sausage, onion, celery, parsley and pepper.

Step 3

Roll one pastry sheet into an 8x12 inch rectangle. Spread with 1/2 the sausage mixture. Beginning with one of the shorter sides, roll pastry. Moisten with water. Seal the edges with a moist fork. Slice the roll into approximately 1 inch pieces. Repeat with second pastry sheet and remaining sausage mixture.

Step 4

Flatten the roll pieces onto a large baking sheet. Bake approximately 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes, until sausage is evenly browned and pastry is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
