Method

  1. To make the Puff Pastry Roll with Broccoli and Sausage, start by cleaning and cutting the broccoli. Steam it for about ten minutes, then heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet, add the garlic and, once golden, add the broccoli florets and cook them for a couple of minutes. Add the sausage with its casing removed, break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for a few more minutes.
  2. Remove the garlic clove and blend the broccoli and sausage mixture with an immersion blender, then season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the honey until well combined, unroll the puff pastry, spread the filling over the sheet, leaving a one-centimeter border all around, and brush the edges with the egg.
  3. Seal the edges with the tines of a fork and transfer everything to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake your Puff Pastry Roll with Broccoli and Sausage at 220 °C (425 °F) for ten minutes or until golden and, once it’s ready, serve it slightly warm.
