Ploughman’s lunch sossy roll

1 small onion, finely diced

12 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 eating apple, peeled cored and finely diced

1 heaped teaspoon dried sage

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Salt and black pepper to taste

50g mature cheddar cheese, cut into thin slices

2 tablespoons chutney of your choice

1 pack sausages, skins removed by splitting each sausage lengthwise.

500g ready made puff pastry

A little milk

Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan and fry the onion, sage and apple for 5 minutes, add the halved tomatoes and fry for a further 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Leave to cool.

Roll out the pastry to a large rectangle the thickness of a £1 coin.

Line the sausages in a long line then top with the slices of cheese. Top with a line of chutney down the middle before finally topping with the onion mixture.

Trim the pastry leaving a 4” border all the way around, cut slits from the outside of the pastry to the sausage meat, then wet the ends with a little milk. Pull the pieces of pastry over the centre to create a plait effect. Brush with a bit more milk then bake in the preheated oven for 35 - 45 minutes or until golden brown, the pastry is well risen and the base is crispy.
