Veggie Sausage Rolls

Veggie Sausage Rolls



1 6-pack of veggie sausages (thawed, I prefer Linda McCartney, but any soy-based works)

1½ cups of grated mature cheddar

1½-2 cups of made up sage and onion stuffing (a little moister than usual)

3 spring onions (finely chopped)

1 heaped teaspoon whole grain mustard

Salt and Pepper

Sprinkle of dried sage (optional)

1 egg, beaten





Method



Break up sausages with a fork (nicely broken with no big bits, but not totally mashed) and put into large bowl, add rest of ingredients and mix well. You can play around with the ingredients a bit, to taste, but don't cut down on the cheese too much as it provides the 'fat', I tend to put more mustard in. Taste and adjust.

Use as a filling for your usual way of making sausage rolls (I use shop-bought butter puff pastry, rolled out thin, milk edges, overlap, seal, cut into bite-sized 'rolls', brush tops with milk. Bake in oven at gas 6 for 25 minutes approx until golden brown. Also nice with sesame seeds scattered on top before baking. Makes about 24.

Now that's an interesting alternative filling

Reading through it though ... I make a "meatloaf" with those ingredients but with sausage meat not veggie sausages. So, I'm thinking it would be easy to translate it into a "meatless" loaf.

For the meat-less loaf use your recipe for the roll filling but, instead of putting into pastry, simply pop that mixture into a loaf pan (lined!) and bake in the oven until cooked through Serve with a hot tomato sauce to pour over the loaf and serve with vegetables of choice

Hmm, methinks I'll try to make a meat-less loaf and see if Mr "M" actually notices he eating vegetarian

 

I'll have to give the 'meat'loaf a go though will have to bulk it up a bit with something, extra breakcrumbs perhaps. Thick rich tomato sauce to go on top is essential I agree!

No need to add extra breadcrumbs ... I notice in your ingredients you have mentioned making the stuffing wetter than usual. For the meatless loaf simple make the stuffing firm and proceed

If you still think the quantity isn't quite enough, add grated raw carrot and grated raw onion to the mix for bulk.
