PICCALILLI SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil the macaroni according to the instructions on the packet. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold running water to stop it from sticking together. Set aside.

  Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas mark 7. Have a 23 x 23cm casserole dish or ovenproof dish at the ready.

  Meanwhile put a non-stick pan on the hob and add the cheese. Keep stirring all the time while the cheese melts gently. As soon as the cheese has melted, add all the cooked pasta and mix through.

  Now add the egg and stir to cook it through and mix it with the cheese mixture. This makes the dish lovely and rich.

  Before adding the piccalilli, put it into a bowl and squash it with the back of a fork. Some bits can be very sharp, so you want to distribute it rather than have someone bite into a very sharp bit of cauliflower. If you are having difficulty, snip the larger bits with scissors.

  Add the piccalilli to the pasta mixture along with the cream cheese, onion seeds and salt. Mix well, then pour into the casserole dish and smooth the surface so it's level.

  To make the crispy topping, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and mix through till the breadcrumbs are roughly coated.

  Sprinkle the crumbs over the macaroni cheese and bake for 30 minutes, until the top is all golden.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the mushrooms until soft. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, thyme and sausage meat and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Roll the puff pastry out into a large rectangle, then cut into two long rectangles.
• Place a layer of sausage meat mixture down the middle of each pastry rectangle, then brush with beaten egg on one of the long edge.
• Fold the other side of the pastry over onto the egg-washed edge. Press down to seal and trim any excess. Cut each pastry roll into 8-10 small sausage rolls.
• Place the sausage rolls onto a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden and the sausage meat is completely cooked through.
