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
Eat hot or cold
I have linked this up to Vanesther's Spice Trail, which is all about Paprika, as well as her & Lou's Family Foodies, which for this month is about Hidden Goodies.
