- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil for brushing
- 6 sheets Puff pastry dough Store bought (vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Filling
- 500 g Mushrooms chopped small (either cup or button)
- 1 medium Carrot grated
- 1 medium Onion shopped small
- ½ cup Parsley Finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic crushed
- 250 g Kidney bean roughly mashed
- ½ tablespoon All spice
- ½ tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- ½ tablespoon Black cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil
Filling
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and sauté onions until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until they are halfway wilted. Drain any excess juice using a strainer.
1 medium Onion, 1 tablespoon Neutral oil, 500 g Mushrooms
Place the onions and mushrooms in a large mixing bowl. Add all the remaining filling ingredients and mix until combined.
1 medium Carrot, ½ cup Parsley, 2 cloves Garlic, 250 g Kidney bean, ½ tablespoon All spice, ½ tablespoon Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Turmeric, ½ tablespoon Black cracked pepper
Assembly
On a flat surface, lay one sheet of thawed puff pastry dough. Slice it in half to make two separate rectangles. Shape the filling into a line along one edge, resembling a long sausage (refer to note 2). Leave a border on the side running parallel to the filling to aid in rolling the puff pastry and forming a seam. Roll the pastry over the filling, then trim the remaining half of the pastry dough and position it on a lined baking tray with the seam facing downward. 6 sheets Puff pastry dough
Cut into desired size (either regular or mini size), brush with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat until all filling is used up.
1 tablespoon Neutral oil, 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Baking
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) until golden and flaky, about 30 minutes, turning halfway through for even baking. Transfer the baked vegan sausage rolls to a wire rack and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving immediately for maximum flakiness.
Servings are for regular-sized sausage rolls or 24 party sized ones.
Note 1 - follow the thaw instructions for the vegan puff pastry listed on the packaging. If the pastry sheets do not have a backing, you will need to work on a floured surface.
Note 2 - The filling should not be soggy, and its size should be suitable for the puff pastry sheet, allowing the dough to close over it. Avoid overfilling.
