A few years ago, I was walking around a freezing firework display with my friend Laura, trying to find anything to bring us comfort in the bitter cold. We discovered a stall selling an incredible hog roast roll packed with pork, stuffing and apple sauce, which led me to create these delicious sausage rolls. They’re the ultimate comfort snack.
