Spooktacular Sausage Rolls with Spider Web Ketchup

These easy-to-make sausage rolls, served with a zesty mustard and ketchup sauce, are perfect for Halloween gatherings or as a post-trick-or-treat snack. You’ll need 100g of extra mature Cheddar cheese, a 375g sheet of puff pastry, and a pack of Morrisons Market Street Pork and Apple Sausages, with the casing removed.

Start by preheating your oven to gas mark 5 (180°C or fan 160°C). In a pan, sauté garlic, leek, and thyme in butter for about five minutes. Combine this mixture with the sausage meat, onion granules, maple syrup, and half of your cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Roll out your pastry into a 70x20cm rectangle, placing the sausage filling in a line down the center. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash, fold over to seal, and let it dry for 10 minutes before applying a second layer of egg wash. Cut the roll into 10 cm pieces and make four small cuts in each to create a ghostly effect. Use chopsticks to add eyes and a spooky mouth.

Bake on a lined tray for 20 minutes until golden. Serve with ketchup drizzled in a spiderweb design using mustard for added Halloween flair!

Creepy Courgetti Topped with Ghoul-lash Sauce

This Halloween meal is not just tasty; it’s also visually captivating! You’ll need 500g of Morrisons Market Street beef mince (the butchers can help you select the best cut), four large courgettes (spiralized or sliced), and 800g of tinned chopped tomatoes, along with cheddar cheese slices.

In a deep non-stick pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and add diced onion, garlic, and pepper. Sauté for about five minutes before setting aside. Add the beef mince to the pan, cooking until browned and crispy. Drain excess fat and return to heat, adding back the onion mixture.

Mix in the tinned tomatoes, a beef stock cube, Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, paprika, cayenne pepper, and mixed Italian herbs. Let it simmer for around 20 minutes.
 

While the sauce simmers, season your courgette spaghetti with salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover with cling film and microwave for 2-3 minutes.

For a spooky touch, cut out small circles from the cheese slices to create 'eyeballs,' topping them with sliced black olives. Serve each bowl of courgetti topped with ghoul-lash sauce, adorned with cheesy olive eyeballs, and a sprinkle of extra cheese if desired.

Delightfully Frightful Tear and Share Pizza

Perfect for a Halloween movie night, this tear-and-share pizza will be a hit with the whole family! Begin by preheating your oven to gas mark 7 (220°C or fan 200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 200g of self-raising flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 175g of natural yogurt, mixing with a wooden spoon before kneading into a ball.

For a spooky twist, add black food coloring to the dough to create 'bread of the dead.' Set the dough aside after kneading.

To prepare the toppings, create mushroom skulls by piercing two 'eye' holes with a straw and cutting lines for the nose and teeth with a knife. In a pan, sauté garlic, banana shallots, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar in butter for about five minutes before adding the mushrooms and frying briefly.

For the chimichurri, mix 100ml olive oil with minced garlic, parsley, oregano, a small chili, and a splash of red wine vinegar. On a floured surface, divide the dough in half and roll into ovals. Place on lined trays and top with your mushroom mixture, baking for 8-10 minutes.

Once out of the oven, drizzle with chimichurri and balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with Parmesan for an irresistible 'bread of the dead' that everyone will love!
