Plant-based Sausage Rolls
A while ago after one massive fail, I told you guys I would eventually nail the plant-based and gluten free sausage roll. And I have finally done it!!
Did anyone else grow up eating those little party pies and sausage rolls? I use to love the days when I would come home from school and Mum would make them for us kiddies! Well these are my plant-based, gluten-free & healthier version of those sausage rolls👏🏼
Ingredients
Filling
1/2 packet Flexible Foods plant-based original mince (DC: ELISE15)
1 vegan egg
1 small carrot, grated
5 button mushrooms, chopped
1/2 onion, diced (optional)
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp fresh parsley
2 tbsp tomato sauce
1.5 tbsp GF Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pastry
2 cups chickpea flour
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup olive oil
Up to 1/2 cup water
Method
Preheat oven to 180C, fan-forced.
For the filling:
Pour mince into a non-stick pan with 200ml of water. Cook over medium heat, covered, for 4 mins, the uncovered for 1 min.
Place mince & remaining filling ingredients in a food processor & process until a smooth filling forms.
Set aside & move onto pastry.
For the pastry:
Combine dry ingredients in blender then add oil, process slowly & slowly add water until dough forms.
Roll out flat on a floured board as thin as you can get it without it breaking. Trim into a rectangle, roughly 30 x 10cm & place filling along long side. Careful not to overfill.
Gently roll from the filling end. Press the edge firmly to seal.
Repeat with remaining pastry & filling.
Place on a lined baking tray, brush with some almond milk & top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Place in the oven to bake for 15-20 mins or until golden.
The Flexible Foods plant-based mince I used in this recipe is made from pea protein and is a great source of protein, iron and fibre! It's also gluten, soy and preservative free and I can't even tell you how flipping good it tastes! You'll just have to try it for yourself! its my favourite plant-based mince substitute and so easy to work with.
