In collaboration with Tasty, Easy Lamb.
Regular readers will know that I have a tendency to play with my food. Growing up in Canada Halloween was a very big thing with the entire village getting involved. Houses would get decorated, we’d all go trick or treating and there would be a huge party at the village hall. Dunking for apples, a costume parade, an unbelievable amount of sweeties.
Ah, the good old days!
Here in the UK Halloween is a much more subdued affair. Halloween props are limited to what you can buy off one tiny supermarket shelf, we’re lucky if we see three or four trick or treaters and, although there is a village party, it just doesn’t seem to have the same magic as I remember from my childhood.
So, every year I like to treat my children with something a little bit spooky when it comes to the Halloween season.
This year I’ve created these mini sausage roll mummies made with lamb mince as my kids aren’t that fond of the regular sausages that you usually see sausage roll mummies made of. I’ve kept the seasoning simple to appeal to the kids’ palates, and I’ve used candy eyes as an extra little treat to bring the mummies to life.
Feel free to omit the candy eyes though and make eyes out of a tiny ball of dough and a bit of an olive for a pupil, or use little dots of ketchup or mustard instead.
These little sausage roll mummies taste fab warm or at room temperature, and any leftovers reheat really well. Just pop them into the oven for 10-15 minutes until they’re reheated through, so you could always make them in advance and then reheat if you’re having a party. If I’m to be honest, they taste pretty fab straight from the fridge too at 10 pm with a good squirt of tomato sauce!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C fan/200 C/ gas mark 6. Bring your shortcrust pastry to room temperature, if it is shop bought.
- Combine the lamb mince, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley together and season as desired. Using your hands and fingers, mix the ingredients together until it forms a thick paste.
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry to a 3 mm thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into thin strips about 7 mm wide.
- Pinch off pieces of meat about the size of a walnut and roll into a short, stout sausage shape. Wrap around a strip of pastry, leaving a space for the mummy eyes.
- Arrange slightly apart on a lined baking tray and brush with an egg wash made by beating a small egg with one tablespoonful of water.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry has browned and the meat is cooked through.
- Serve hot or at room temperature with tomato sauce and mustard to dip.

Is Your Home Ready for a Kitchen Makeover?
We made mummy sausages the other night and they went down well – I did wonder about using candy eyes but was too tired – also saw some olive eyes too that I would like to try. We have more packaged Halloween food than you but it is the home made stuff that is the most fun – especially when kids can help making them.
Omg I love these!!! And how easy are they to make!! The kids would go mad for these so we might have to give these a go tomorrow!
These are so cute, and I love the little candy eyeball as well, makes them look super spooky x
Oh wow check you out! These look amazing and my kids will always eat sausage rolls, if nothing else!
These are adorable Elizabeth. I absolutely love them xx
Oh yum how awesome do these look, they really make for the perfectly spooky Halloween treat!
These look like so much fun to make and I love the little eyes on them! I would never have thought to make them with lamb! x
