Nigerian Sausage Rolls

If you lived in Nigeria in the 90’s you will definitely know about the gala brand of sausage rolls which is usually sold by street vendors and often time when we buy this gala sausage we tend to buy a popular drink called la casera alongside with it and by the time you are done eating this you will have a satisfied feeling as though you’ve just eaten a full course meal.

Note(s):

For a more delicate pastry I used a combination of Butter and Margarine but feel free to use only Margarine for this, it works very well too.

The Sausage meat I used as been seasoned from the store so I used just one stock cube to step down the salt level (it’s so salty) but feel free to season the sausage to your taste.
