Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait is a delicious mix of sausage meat, carrot, red onion, green chillies and sweet chilli sauce all wrapped up in a puff pastry plait. Great hot for dinner or cold for a picnic!
In celebration of British Sausage Week which runs from 2 – 8 November, I decided I wanted to make a sausage plait which became this Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait.
I have to admit that I’ve been intrigued by them ever since watching Nanny Pat on The Only Way is Essex as it seems to be her signature dish. (Did I just say that in public?)
So wanting to come up with my take on the humble sausage plait I decided to give it a makeover tailoring it to my family’s taste.
Being a big chilli lover and not wanting to make it too hot for my daughter, I embarked on a fusion of Asian and British cuisine by making a Sweet Chilli Sausage Plait.
If you like things hotter you could always add the seeds from the green chilli to notch up the heat!
To counteract the chilli I added some grated carrot and red onion for sweetness and then finished off with a layer of Thai sweet chilli sauce before wrapping in pastry.
I’m pleased to say this sausage plait went down a storm and has already been repeated. Serve it hot or cold (leftovers taste great and are perfect for a picnic)!
Enjoy with baked beans or a salad and then sit back and wait for the compliments!

Ingredients
- 400g – 450g Pack of good quality pork sausages min 90% pork, skinned
- 1 Medium carrot grated
- 1 Medium red onion finely chopped
- 1 Large green chilli finely chopped (seeds removed)
- 1 Garlic clove crushed
- 3 tbsp Dry natural breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Thai sweet chilli sauce
- Ready rolled puff pastry sheet cut to 25cm x 30cm
- 1 Egg whisked for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place the first 6 ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.
Place the pastry sheet onto baking paper on a baking sheet.
Place sausage meat in the centre and form a brick shape leaving a 3cm gap at either end.
Spread the Thai sweet chilli sauce over the sausage meat.
Cut strips measuring 1.5cm at an angle along both sides and trim the two ends to form flaps.
Fold one end flap over the sausage meat and then fold over the strips in alternate layers to form a plait, moistening the tips with water to secure.
Finish by tucking in the end flap and brushing the pastry with egg wash.
Bake in the oven for 35 – 40 minutes until golden brown and sausage meat is cooked.
Serve hot or cold.

Thank you so much Roseanne, you’re right about a picnic snack, I took this to our street party one year and there wasn’t a slice left as everyone loved it:-) Love that you made it with your own chili sauce too!

Hi Claire, I haven’t done this but would freeze before baking, then thaw, glaze and bake.
