Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 200 grams, finely chopped button mushrooms
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 0.5 finely diced red bell pepper
• 200 grams cooked lentils
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 50 grams rolled oats
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 large, beaten eggs
• 2 sheets, ready-rolled puff pastry
• 1 optional egg wash

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms to the pan. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and have released their moisture.

Step 4

Add the grated carrot and diced red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked lentils, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 6

Remove the mixture from the heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Once slightly cooled, add the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, and beaten egg to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until fully combined. This will form the filling for your sausage rolls.

Step 8

Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to create 4 long rectangles.

Step 9

Spoon the filling mixture evenly along the center of each pastry strip, forming a sausage shape.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the pastry with a little egg wash, then fold the pastry over the filling to enclose it. Pinch or press down the edges to seal.

Step 11

Cut each roll into 6 pieces to make bite-sized treats or adjust the size to your liking.

Step 12

Place the rolls seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with more egg wash for a glossy finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These rolls can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature.
