These gourmet mini sausage rolls combine layers of chicken with sage, turkey with cranberry, and a rich pulled confit duck centre, all wrapped in golden, buttery pastry. The filling is cooked down with aromatics and duck fat for extra depth, then served with silky chicken gravy so every bite tastes like a miniature festive roast dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1556\" data-start=\"1140\"\u003eReady straight from the freezer in just 15–20 minutes, these sausage rolls are a stress-free way to impress your guests. They’re fun, festive, and a true talking point – the kind of party food that feels familiar yet completely unique. Whether you serve them as a canapé, part of a grazing table, or even as a cheeky Christmas Day starter while the roast is in the oven, these little rolls bring big holiday cheer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I wanted to create a Christmas themed sausage roll. I remember sitting around with friends laughing at the idea of a Turducken sausage roll. I later thought to myself \"why not?!\" I had a lot of fun coming up with the way I was going to execute it. My teenage son enjoyed all the taste testing. Last year these were a hit and I'm excited to share them this third year in a row with all my FoodSt customers!\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCooked with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e❤️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by Rebecca\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FoodSt","offers":[{"title":"Box of 12","offer_id":39769279135802,"sku":"RFAR008-12","price":28.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1628\/0025\/files\/Turducken.jpg?v=1759792443"},{"product_id":"gavin-s-garlic-prawns-with-parsley-butter","title":"Gavin’s Garlic Prawns With Parsley Butter","description":"\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eGavin's sourced beautiful fresh Queensland prawns and prepared them with his special garlic parsley butter, so all the hard work is done for you.

This is the second kind. Heirloom tomatoes in reds and yellows, in different shapes and sizes, laid over pastry so they look like something from a good bakery window rather than something you took out of a freezer. It goes down in the middle of the table and people ask about it before anybody has tasted it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a tart about its ingredients. Heirloom tomatoes, not ordinary ones, in different varieties and colours and sizes. Real Gruyère, the firm Swiss cheese that goes nutty and deep as it melts. Golden shallots rather than onions, sweeter and gentler. Dijon mustard. Thyme, sage and rosemary. Good olive oil, salt and pepper. Six or seven things, all of them chosen rather than settled for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes it worth eating is what they do to each other in the oven. The tomatoes give up their sugars and soften, the Gruyère melts down into the pastry and browns at the edges, the shallots go sweet, the herbs release their oils into the oil, and the Dijon runs through all of it with a sharp savoury edge that keeps the sweetness in check. By the time it comes out you are not tasting tomato and cheese and mustard. You are tasting one thing, and it is not a thing you can get from any of them on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo it looks like an afternoon's work and tastes like considerably more than that, and it needs nothing from you but a hot oven and a knife.

Four to a serve, and almost nothing for you to do. Move them from the freezer to the fridge the night before, then they go into the oven on a tray, the butter melts down into the scallop, and they come to the table in the shells they arrived in. It is the sort of thing you would order out, and at home it takes one tray and no skill at all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe butter is where this dish lives. It's built on white miso and kombu, a Japanese sea kelp, which together give a gentle savoury depth, the quality that makes a good broth taste finished rather than flat. Both come from the sea, like the scallop, so the butter carries that saltiness into the sweetness rather than covering it. Through it goes Kashmiri chilli, the mild deep-red Indian chilli used more for its colour than its heat, which turns the butter a rich red-orange and gives it warmth without making it hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAnd folded through the whole thing is bunya nut, the seed of the Australian bunya pine, soft and nutty with a sweetness close to a chestnut, which gives the butter body and a gentle roundness rather than sitting on top as a garnish. Bunya nuts were gathered, traded and eaten by Aboriginal people in south-east Queensland for thousands of years, and the harvest gatherings held for them are among the largest recorded on this continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese miso, Indian chilli, Australian nut, Western Australian scallop.
