- 2 lamb sausages Merguez or other
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F (220C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the puff pastry sheet onto the parchment paper lined baking tray. Using a pastry brush or the back of a large spoon, evenly spread the Sriracha sauce on the puff pastry sheet.1 puff pastry sheet, 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- Remove the casing from the lamb sausages and spread the sausage meat on top of the Sriracha sauce covering everything but the top and bottom edge (about 1/2 inch) of the puff pastry sheet.2 lamb sausages
- Tightly roll the pastry sheet up starting at the top or bottom. Roll it up into a cylinder and press the edge into the pastry sheet to seal the roll. Cut the sausage roll into 12 x 1/2 inch thick slices and lay them out on the baking sheet.
- Bake the lamb pinwheels for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve while warm with some homemade tzatziki or lamb chimichurri sauce.
Notes
Don't over-thaw: Let the pastry thaw enough to be workable, but not so much that it becomes sticky or soggy.
Cut cleanly: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the pinwheels. This will help them keep their shape.
Bake at high heat: A hot oven is key for creating those golden brown, flaky layers. Make sure the oven is at temperature before adding the pinwheels. You can add a simple milk or egg wash to add a deeper color.
Storage: Once cooked, you can store the meaty pinwheels for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Simply reheat them in the oven or the microwave. I don't recommend freezing cooked meat pinwheels. But you can use from-scratch pastry and freeze unbaked pinwheels individually, and cook them from frozen later on. This is a great way to meal prep them ahead of time for a dinner party.
