How to make Vegetarian Sausage Rolls
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two oven trays with baking paper.
- Step 2
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes, until the onions become translucent.
- Step 3
Add the mushrooms and carrot and continue cooking until tender.
- Step 4
Remove from heat, transfer the mushroom mixture to a large mixing bowl, and allow it to cool.
- Step 5
Place the remaining filling ingredients in the bowl and mix to combine.
- Step 6
Place the halved puff pastry sheets on a board.
- Step 7
Divide the filling evenly, using your hands to mould a sausage shape along the length of the middle of the sheet.
- Step 8
Brush a small amount of the egg along the long edge of the pastry.
- Step 9
Roll the pastry over the filling, and seal the ends by lightly pressing them together.
- Step 10
Lightly brush the top of the sausage roll with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut each roll into 6-8 portions using a sharp knife and place them on the prepared baking trays. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
