You know what they say…when in Rome make sausage rolls! They date all the way back to the Roman empire but fit just as nicely in a modern day tea service. Here in the Hipster House, we prefer to use game meat when we can, which is why I started making these simple and savoury homemade venison sausage rolls.
However, like most game, venison is leaner than farm raised meats which can make the mince versions a tad dry. To compensate, add in some higher fat content meat to supplement. You can make your own puff pastry, or use pre-rolled puff pastry, depending on how dedicated you are.
One last note before we get to the business end, make sure you have a tipple to hand. Cooking should be a relaxing time and I recommend settling in with a tall glass of Erdinger Dunkel for this one. If non-alcoholic is your game, a nice lingonberry & soda pairs well with the finished homemade venison sausage rolls.
