Home made Sausage Rolls with Pork and Fennel

Low FODMAP, GF
Servings : 20
This is an all year-round favourite in our house. A perfect pairing with our home-made Tomato Sauce and Spicy Tomato Sauce.
Fennel seeds can add an extra burst of flavour, but definitely not a necessity if not your thing!
Plus, you can make sausage rolls in advance and freeze until you want to use them. Perfect for preparation in advance.
