A traditional british snack, sausage rolls always came out at Christmas time in my family. You can get them all year \u2019round in the UK, obviously, but my mother made lovely homemade ones which were always better than the pre-packed ones you get in the supermarket. I\u2019ve had The Best sausage roll from a place in London called&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegingerpig.co.uk\">The Ginger Pig<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 a large, freshly baked delight that was served warm. Fantastic! But, sadly, not gluten-free, nor low carb\u2026 so I set out to create my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I mentioned to The Boyfriend I was making sausage rolls, he was thrilled. Until I pointed out that I was making a low carb equivalent. To save any domestic dispute, I picked up some puff pastry from the shop and make a batch of \u2018traditional\u2019 sausage rolls for him. But this recipe is for a batch of my low carb creation. And I have to stay, they aren\u2019t really sausage rolls, but they are absolutely delicious. And a great substitute when you are avoiding pastry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used tradition spanish botifarra, which is just basically a really good, really pure sausage. Unlike typical british sausages, botifarra is pure meat (and a few spices) rather than bulked up with bread and fillers. If you can\u2019t get botifarra (which, if you aren\u2019t in Spain, you probably can\u2019t) you can use a high quality sausage meat, or equivalent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love homemade sausage rolls.
