Pigs in blankets
Pigs in blankets are too delicious to be reserved for a one-off Christmas side dish - try them as a party snack or with roast chicken. They take no time to make and will be just how you like them.
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
Place the bacon on a chopping board, then using the side of the knife, stretch and flatten the bacon until about half as long again.
Cut each strip of bacon in half across, then wrap each piece around a chipolata, securing with cocktail sticks.
Place in a roasting tray and roast for 15 minutes until golden-brown and cooked through.
Recipe Tips
The pigs in blankets can be frozen in a single layer on a tray, then transferred to a sealed re-usable bag or box and frozen for up to 1 month. They can be cooked from frozen, but may take slightly longer to crisp up.
