Veggie Sausageless Rolls

After the success of my vegetable burgers I thought I would have a play around with similar ingredients and flavours and make a kind of sausage roll - without the sausage. This might be good for those fussy eaters that won't entertain any kind of veg as the vegetables have been blended beyond recognition. I had a little smug smile on my face when Jack declared he loved them as they have cauliflower in, and he hates cauliflower! The recipe makes 24 sausageless rolls although I did have enough filling leftover to make 3 small veggie burgers.

Veggie Sausageless Rolls - makes 24

2 slices of wholemeal bread, toasted

500g frozen vegetables (mine included broccoli, cauliflower & carrots), cooked

400g can of Baked beans, excess sauce drained

2 tsp Paprika

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp Garam Masala

1 egg, beaten

4-5 tbsp plain flour (approx)

500g puff pastry block

1 egg for glazing

• Whizz the bread in a food processor to make breadcrumbs
• Mix the cooked vegetables, beans, breadcrumbs, spices & coriander together and blend in a food processor or with a stick blender, until smooth
• Mix in the egg and enough flour for the mixture to resemble sausagemeat
• Roll the pastry out until a large rectangle approx 30 x 40cm
• Slice into 3 equal strips along the long side
• Spoon some of the vegetable mixture along each strip of pastry
• Brush along the edges with beaten egg
• Fold the pastry over the mixture and seal with a fork
• Slice each length into approx 8 pieces
• Place on a baking sheet and brush with more beaten egg
• Bake in a preheated 200C oven for approx 15 minutes until golden brown
