SUZEE'S SAUSAGE ROLLS

🥳 Party-Approved Vegetarian Sausage Rolls (No Sausages Were Harmed)

Forget everything you know about sausage rolls. No, seriously—ditch the meat, keep the puff pastry, and prepare your tastebuds for a plant-based party in your mouth. These little golden parcels of joy are crunchy, cheesy, herby, and secretly nutritious (but don’t tell the kids). If you have a Thermomix, simply follow the recipe for Vegetarian Sausage Rolls on Cookidoo. If you don’t, try our variation below:

🧄 Ingredients:

• 1 large brown onion (the one making you cry for all the right reasons)

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano (or pretend it’s “freshly foraged” if you want to feel fancy)

• 100g of either cashews, walnuts, or pepitas (aka: whatever’s at the back of your pantry)

• 90g rolled oats (for texture and your inner health guru)

• 3 eggs (the glue of the vegetarian world)

• 150g feta cheese (the salt bae of cheeses)

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (adds that mysterious umami flavor your guests can’t quite place)

• 50g breadcrumbs (to hold everything together like a rom-com plot twist)

• 3 sheets of puff pastry (store-bought, because life is short)

• A splash of milk (non-dairy works too — we’re not judging)

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for ✨aesthetic✨ and crunch)

🧙‍♂️ The Magic Method:

1. Summon your food processor

Toss in the onion and blitz it into tiny emotional shrapnel. (You may cry. It’s part of the process.)

2. Add your nuts/seeds of choice

Pick your fighter: cashews, walnuts, or pepitas. Chuck them in and blitz again until it looks like rustic fairy dust.

3. Spice things up

Sprinkle in your oregano and rolled oats. Pulse to mix. At this point, it’s looking questionable, but trust the journey.

4. Egg-cellent addition

Crack in the eggs, crumble in the feta, pour in the soy sauce, and sprinkle in those breadcrumbs. Give it all a whirl until combined. It should resemble a chunky paste with big dreams.

5. Pastry time!

Grab your thawed puff pastry sheets and cut them in half (vertically, like you’re building a bridge of deliciousness).

6. Fill ‘em up

Spoon a generous line of the mixture down the middle of each pastry strip. Channel your inner sushi chef. Or burrito roller. Either works.

7. Seal the deal

Brush one edge with milk (aka edible glue), then roll the pastry into a tube shape, encasing the filling like a warm hug. Seal the edge underneath.

8. Party-size me

Slice each tube into 4 bite-sized heroes. They’re now officially “party sausage rolls” even if it’s just you and your cat.

9. Final touches

Line them up on a baking tray like little golden soldiers. Brush the tops with more milk and sprinkle on sesame seeds like you’re seasoning from a great height (dramatic flair encouraged).

10. Bake and rejoice

Pop them into a 200°C oven for about 20 minutes, or until they’re puffed up, golden, and too hot to eat but you try anyway.

🧁 Pro Tip:

These freeze beautifully, so make extra and impress your future self. Serve with tomato sauce, chutney, or a smug expression because yes, you made those.
