Straight from the pages of my cookbook, these vegan sausage rolls combine earthy mushrooms, lentils and rosemary wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
These vegan sausage rolls are probably one of the meatiest meat-free dishes I have created. So much so that my eight year-old didn't notice the swap from her regular sausage rolls to this new meat-free version.
Ingredients And Substitutions
Mushrooms. I generally use chestnut or button mushrooms for these vegan sausage rolls. I have made them with Portobellos and Swiss - you'll need around 250 - 300g. Don't get too fussy about it, anywhere in that range is fine.
Mirepoix. Trust the French to make something as simple as onion, celery and carrot sound sexy. The base of many-a-good soup and casserole, mirepoix creates the foundation of our flavour.
Lentils. Our protein! You could also use chickpeas here but give them wee chop to break them up a little.
Nutritional Yeast for a boost of umami. If you don't have it, you could go for a tablespoon of soy sauce - you made need to add more breadcrumbs at the end to balance out the additional moisture.
Miso Paste. Red miso has a deeper umami flavour but I've also used Shiro (white miso paste) and it has worked great. Both are available at most grocery stores.
Dijon Mustard for a touch of warm tang. You could use seeded mustard in a pinch, just note that you'll get a sharper flavour from it.
Apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar to add a little punch.
Rosemary. Our secret weapon! Rosemary tricks the brain in to thinking we are eating something meaty.
Spinach because it's good for us!
Puff pastry. Many brands of puff pastry are vegan and available at most supermarkets.
How To Make The Tastiest Vegan Sausage Rolls
Step 1. We're going to heat the olive oil in a large pan and sauté our mirepoix. Take your time with this; it may take 10-minutes for the vegetables to soften and become all translucent-y. Add the garlic and cook for another 30-seconds. Read More….
