Using store-bought puff pastry in a very handy pre-measured sheet makes this recipe super easy to prepare. All the ingredients can be prepped in advance too!
Here's what you'll need to make Mushroom and Nut Vegetarian Sausage rolls
- Mushrooms - we use Chestnut Mushrooms for extra "meatiness" and flavour.
- Red onions - adds sweetness
- Garlic - adds depth of flavour
- Ground Almonds - to help bind the mixture together
- Chopped Walnuts - for texture
- Dried mixed herbs or use your favourite herbs
- Paprika - to spice it up a little
- Cheeses, we use a combination of Parmesan and Cheddar
- Olive oil
- Egg, for egg wash
And here's how to make them
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C/350F.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the red onions for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, garlic, herbs and paprika and gently cook for around 15 minutes, stirring to make sure nothing catches. The mushroom mixture should be reduced down by the end of cooking.
- Stir in the grounds almonds, chopped walnuts and the grated cheeses and take off the heat and allow to cool.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways.
- Take your mushroom mixture and place half along the middle of one half of the puff pastry. Repeat on the other half.
- Egg wash the fold edge on each length to help seal the edges.
- Roll the long edge of one of the puff pastry sheets into a sausage shape, making sure the fold is on the bottom. Repeat with the second pastry piece.
- Cut into pieces as desired. We make some small and a few larger.
- Place the cut mushroom roll pieces onto a baking tray and brush each one with the egg wash.
- Finish with a generous sprinkling of both white and black sesame seeds.
Place in a heated oven for around 20-25 minutes until lovely and golden and well risen.
These easy mushroom and nut vegetarian sausage rolls are simply delicious and can be enjoyed warm or cold. They make a light snack or part of a larger meal with salad. Make lots they won't be around for long!
Variations
- Any nuts chopped will be equally delicious, choose your favourite but also keep the ground almonds.
- Vary the toppings, poppy seeds, black onion seeds or flaxseeds (linseeds) also work well.
- Spice them up with chilli flakes or half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
