Vegan Sausage Rolls
Vegan Sausage Rolls with a hint of chilli
These vegan sausage rolls are a delicious alternative. They boast plenty of flavour with a slight kick from the chilli added. You can use pre-made, pre-rolled puff pastry as it’s just as good; don’t worry about making puff pastry from scratch! Make a big batch of these then freeze a few for when want a quick snack. Just bake from frozen for 20 minutes. They make a tasty lunch too with a side salad. The ingredients are simple and easy to get your hands on. I like to eat mine with English mustard and tomato chutney on a bed of rocket.
Enjoy as a snack, lunch or dinner
The recipe uses walnuts, silken tofu and spices you just blend together to make the filling. Then roll it up in your pastry, cut into portions, you can make them bigger to how I’ve cut them if you prefer. Bake for 20 minutes and there you have it, a homemade vegan sausage roll. Have them for lunch, a snack or serve with a salad for your dinner.

Vegan Sausage Rolls
Ingredients
- 130g Walnuts
- 4 Small onions or 1 large Chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves Chopped
- 300g Silken tofu (1 carton)
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tsp Mixed herbs
- 1 tsp Chilli flakes
- 1 tsp Chilli powder
- 120g Oats
- 1 Packet of ready rolled puff pastry
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp Black sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp Milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 170C and take out the pastry from the fridge.
- Process the walnuts until crumbly then add to a large bowl. Then process the onion and garlic to a paste and add to the walnuts.
- Drain the tofu then add to the processor along with the herbs, spices, soy sauce and salt. Process until smooth then add to the bowl and stir together along with the oats. You want a consistency that almost holds, not too sloppy but you don’t need it too firm. Add more oats if you need to. Finally add 20 or so twists of freshly ground pepper to the mix and combine.
- Next, lay out your pastry on a board. Fold it in half length ways then open out and cut along the crease so you have two long pieces of pastry. Along the middle of each piece, spoon half the oat mixture so you have a long trail of the mixture running along the middle of each piece of pastry. To fold the sausage rolls, stretch over one side of the pastry to cover the oat mixture, then do the same for the other side. Now you should have what looks like a giant sausage roll, turn it over so you have the neat side on top then cut into 8 even pieces and place onto to a baking tray. You can use the baking paper the pastry comes with on for the baking tray. Repeat for the second half.
- Brush the milk over the sausage rolls then sprinkle the sesame seeds on top before baking in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Alternatively you can freeze half before baking them so you have some to cook at a later date.
- Serve warm with your favourite sides and enjoy!
