These vegan sausage rolls by Holly Jade make the perfect party food for a free-from crowd and will be a hit with adults and little ones alike.
Ingredients
For the 'vegan sausage'
- 1 tin chickpeas rinsed, drained
- 4 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 100 g walnuts
- 1 tbsp gluten-free oats
- 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp dried herbs
- 1 tsp dried coriander
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the pastry
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry (we used JusRol Gluten Free)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180oC/Gas Mark 4 and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
-
Place the chickpeas, ground flaxseed, walnuts, oats, soy sauce, garlic cloves, oil, paprika, herbs, coriander, black pepper and salt into a food processor/blender and whizz up until a sausage-like texture. This will take around 3-5 minutes.
-
Unroll the puff pastry and cut it in half.
-
With clean hands, grab some of the sausage mixture, roll it into logs and place onto one side of the pastry sheet.
-
Brush some dairy-free milk on the edges of the pastry sheet and fold the pastry over the sausage. Using a fork, press the pastry layers together to create a seal. Cut into servings and place onto the lined baking tray. Brush some over the top of the pastries, then bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden in colour. Serve hot with a dipping sauce or brush over some dairy-free butter. Best enjoyed hot and fresh on the day of making.
