Balcony Garden: Harvest Monday #14

You'd be hard pressed to find a Sydney-sider who doesn't love Bourke Street Bakery - or more specifically a Bourke Street Bakery sausage roll.  Their most famous sausage roll is probably the Pork + Fennel...which funnily enough is the only one I've not tried!  Lucky for me everything can be found on the Internet after a quick tete-a-tete with Mr Google I come up with the recipe for Pork + Fennel Sausage rolls.

I'm mostly keen to make these little babies as one of the ingridents is Thyme, of which I have a TONNE growing out on the balcony but really no idea what to do with it.  I figure I may as well chuck some rosemary in for good measure -- seeing as I finally got the darn stuff to grow!

The receipe seems straight forward enough, but it is a little time consuming with loads of chopping, cooking, stirring etc etc etc. I got to use my teacup sized food processor to whiz the rosemary + thyme = fun.   I also refrigerated the mince for awhile to make it easier to handle later on (aka; a good time to go off shopping for an hour or so).

Despite what I perceive as A LOT of effort and faffing around the end result is totally worth it if you have a lazy morning to mess around in the kitchen. These babies were so moist and flavoursome.  Now I need to go off to Bourke Street Bakery and try the real deal.
