But that tastes too "sausagey" for my liking. I'll rather put the sausage in a bread roll and eat instead of wasting my time and electricity baking that in the oven.<br /> <h2> Nigerian Sausage Roll Ingredients</h2> The number of Sausage Rolls you will get with the following ingredients depends on how flat you roll out your dough and the size you cut your sausage rolls during preparation.<br /> <h3> For the dough</h3> <ul> <li>Plain Flour: 300g</li> <li>Baking Powder: 1 to 2 teaspoons</li> <li>Margarine: 150g</li> <li>Salt: ½ teaspoon</li> <li>Cold Water</li> </ul> <h3> For the sausage filling</h3> <ul> <li>300g of sausage (Satis® is a popular brand in Nigeria)</li> <li>½ teaspoon of ground Nutmeg</li> <li>1 big stock cube</li> </ul> <h3> Ornamental Ingredient</h3> <ul> <li>1 medium-sized egg</li> </ul> <h2> Tools I used while making the Sausage Rolls</h2> <ul> <li>Oven: <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B004F9Q9GG?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006DCUEAA?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li> <li>Glass Bowl <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B00004SZ7H?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000KG8GVE?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li> <li>Kitchen scale: <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B001N07KUE?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000ZNM51O?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li> <li>Dough Roller or good old wine bottle. <i>Buy dough roller <a href="http://amzn.com/B000IZ33Q0?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000G04MN0?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li> <li>Hand blender for blending the sausages. A normal blender will NOT work well for this task because with normal blenders, you will need to add water to what you are blending but in this case, you don't want to add water to the sausages. <i>Buy it <a href="http://amzn.com/B000EGA6QI?tag=allnigereci-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in USA</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000LYSSWW?tag=allnigereci-21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in UK</a></i></li> <li>A table: – You will need a flat surface to roll out and cut the dough.</li> <li>A blunt knife for cutting the dough.</li> <li>A brush for rubbing the egg on the sausage rolls.</li> <li>A pestle.</li> </ul> <br /> <h2> Directions for preparing the Nigerian Sausage Rolls</h2> <h3> The Sausage Filling</h3> I don't like sausages because they are tasteless and salty. For this reason, I like to season sausages before using them in my Sausage Rolls. Boiling them with seasoning is never enough because the seasoning cannot penetrate the compact sausage.<br /> The following steps will show you how I season my sausages before using them.<br /> <ol> <li>Put the sausages in a bowl and use a blunt object eg a pestle to <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/marsh-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">mash them up</a>.</li> <li>Add the ground nutmeg.</li> <li>Crush the stock cubes with your fingers and add to the mashed sausages. At this time, feel free to add any other seasoning that catches your fancy.</li> <li>Stir well to mix the added ingredients with the mashed sausages.</li> <li>Use the hand blender to <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/blend-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">blend the sausages</a> into a smooth paste.</li> <li>Set this aside.</li> </ol> <br /> <h3> The Sausage Roll dough</h3> The dough for Sausage Rolls is mixed exactly as that of <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/snacks/nigerian-meat-pie.html" title="Nigerian Meat Pie">Nigerian Meat Pie</a><br /> <ol> <li>Put the flour in a sizeable bowl; add the baking powder and salt. Mix these dry ingredients very well. You really do not need a lot of salt for the sausage roll dough. Most sausages contain a lot of salt already. </li> <li>Use a tablespoon to scoop the margarine in small bits into the bowl of flour. The smaller you make the <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/bits-of-margarine.jpg" target="_blank">bits of margarine</a>, the easier it will be for you to rub them into the flour.</li> <li>Use finger tips to rub the margarine into the flour till the mix becomes <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/flour-butter-mix.jpg" target="_blank">like crumbs</a>.</li> <li>Add cold water in bits and mix till a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/ball-of-dough.jpg" target="_blank">stiff ball of dough</a> is formed. You only need a small quantity of water for this to happen.</li> </ol> <br /> <h3> Get other stuff ready :)</h3> <ol> <li>Set your oven to 170°C (~335°F) to preheat while you continue with the sausage roll.</li> <li>Rub margarine on the insides of the oven tray, spray flour on it, pour out the excess flour and set aside. This is so that the undersides of the sausage rolls do not burn or stick to the tray during baking.</li> <li>Break the egg, beat it and set aside, you will need it later.</li> </ol> <br /> <h3> Roll, Cut, Fill, Fold and Close</h3> <ol> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/roll-dough.jpg" target="_blank">Roll out the dough</a> to a 3mm thickness.</li> <li>Use a blunt knife to make a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/rectangular-cut.jpg" target="_blank">rectangular cut</a> on the rolled out dough.</li> <li>Remove the excess dough and <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/rub-egg.jpg" target="_blank">rub the egg</a> on the rectangular dough.</li> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/scoop-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Scoop some sausage</a> along the edge of the length of the rectangle. The thickness of the sausage should be such that you can comfortably fold the dough and still be left with an overlap. Watch the video below to see how I did that.</li> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/fold-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Fold the dough</a> as you would fold a mat.</li> <li>Rest the folded roll on the excess dough to make a seal like you would with the flap of an envelope.</li> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/cut-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Cut</a> the sausage roll to desired lengths.</li> <li>Roll out more dough, cut, fill, fold, cut into desired lengths and place in the greased oven tray till all the dough is used.</li> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/rub-egg-sausage.jpg" target="_blank">Rub the egg</a> on the sausage rolls. This gives them a golden brown look when done.</li> <li>Set the tray in the preheated oven and bake till the Sausage Rolls are golden brown. This should take approximately 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your dough and the type/heating capacity of your oven.</li> </ol> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=277786776962857030" name="nigeriansausagerollsvideo"></a> That's how to make the Nigerian Sausage Rolls that do not have the strong sausagey smell and taste.<br /> <br /></div>

Cover the pot and once the contents of the pot starts boiling, add the diced carrots and potatoes and cook till everything is well done.</li> <li>Dissolve 2 tablespoons of plain flour in half cup of cold water and add to the meat pie filling. This tip is so that the meat pie filling does not dry up during baking. It is also what keeps the meat pie filling moist.</li> <li>Add salt to taste, stir the contents and turn off the heat. Set the <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/meat-pie-filling.jpg" target="_blank">meat pie filling</a> aside. Now is the time to prepare the dough for the meat pie.</li> </ol> <h2> <i>The Meat Pie dough</i></h2> <div itemprop="instructions"> <ol> <li>Put the 1 kg of flour in a sizeable bowl; add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 2 pinches of salt. You really do not need a lot of salt for the meat pie dough. The meat pie will get most of its taste from the filling. Mix these dry ingredients very well.</li> <li>Use a tablespoon to scoop the margarine in small bits into the bowl of flour. The smaller you make the <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/bits-of-margarine.jpg" target="_blank">bits of margarine</a>, the easier it will be for you to rub them into the flour.</li> <li>Use finger tips to rub the margarine into the flour till the mix becomes <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/flour-butter-mix.jpg" target="_blank">like crumbs</a>.<br /> <br /> <b>Note:</b> In Nigeria, we also refer to margarine as butter but for my audience in the Western countries, please do NOT use butter for the meatpie dough because butter is too hard and this makes it difficult for you to mix it with the flour to achieve the crumbly look. So please use margarine. <br /> <br /> Also butter is quite heavy so it makes the dough very greasy which hinders the elasticity of the dough.<br /> <br /> Can I use melted butter? No, because it simply ruins the meat pie.</li> <li>Now, start adding cold water in bits while at the same time folding the mix till a <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/ball-of-dough.jpg" target="_blank">stiff ball of dough</a> is formed. You will be surprised at how small quantity of water you need to get the dough stiff. At most, all you need for the 1 kg of flour is half a cup of water.</li> <li>Knead the dough very well, put back in the bowl and leave to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. This makes the dough more elastic.</li> </ol> </div> <h2> <i>Cut, Fill, Fold and Close</i></h2> <ol> <li>Set your oven to 170°C (335°F) and leave to preheat while you continue with the meat pie.</li> <li>Rub margarine on the insides of the oven tray and set aside. This is so that the undersides of the meat pies do not burn or stick to the tray during baking.</li> <li>Break the egg, beat it and set aside, you will need it pretty soon.</li> <li>Knead the dough some more, <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/roll-out-dough.jpg" target="_blank">roll</a> it out to achieve a 5mm thickness.</li> <li>Use a cutter, be it the cover of a small pot or a meat pie cutter, to make <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/round-cuts.jpg" target="_blank">round cuts</a> on the rolled out dough.</li> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/remove-excess-dough.jpg" target="_blank">Remove the excess dough</a>, leaving behind the round cuts.</li> <li>Scoop some meat pie filling into the center of the round cuts, the quantity should be such that you can comfortably close the dough without overflows. Don't worry if you over-filled the first one, you have many meat pies to fill today so at some point you will know just the right quantity of meat pie filling to scoop into the dough.</li> <li>Rub the egg on the inside edge of the cut meatpie dough. Watch the video to see how this is done. This is to ensure that your meat pie is perfectly sealed and does not open up while it is being baked.</li> <li><a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/fold-meat-pie.jpg" target="_blank">Fold</a> one part of the dough to meet the other end and use a fork to <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/press-meat-pie.jpg" target="_blank">press</a> the 2 edges together to close tightly. Place your work of art in the oven tray and repeat the previous step till all the cut out dough is exhausted.</li> <li>Roll out more dough, cut, fill, close and <a href="http://www.allnigerianrecipes.com/images/meatpie-oven-tray.jpg" target="_blank">place</a> in the greased oven tray till all the dough is used.</li> <li>Rub the egg on the meat pies. This gives the meat pie a golden brown look when done.</li> <li>Set the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. This time will depend on the type and heating capacity of your oven. For some ovens, the meat pie will be done in half an hour, for some, it may take up to 50 mins. Whatever type of oven you have, the important thing to know is that the best meat pies are the ones baked at medium heat. You can confirm that the meat pie is done when it starts browning. It is alright to open the oven to check this.</li> </ol> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=277786776962857030" name="howtomakenigerianmeatpievideo"></a> That's how the Nigerian Meat Pie is made. It may seem like a long process just because the procedure as explained here is very detailed and includes lots of tips that are often over-looked. You will see that it is an easy and straight-forward recipe when you actually do it. But why worry about the time it will take? Just think of all the yummy meat pies you will be eating. :)<br /> Feel free to use half the quantity of the stated ingredients if you do not want to make as many meat pies.<br /> <br /> <table style="width: 560px;"> <tbody> <tr> </tr> </tbody></table> <br /></div>
