Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 150 grams, finely chopped button mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 50 grams rolled oats
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 400 gram can, drained and mashed chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 sheets ready-rolled puff pastry
• 1 beaten (for wash, optional for vegetarians) egg
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the grated carrot and finely chopped mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms have softened and released their moisture.

Step 4

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, and dried thyme to the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce and remove the mixture from heat, allowing it to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable mixture with rolled oats, breadcrumbs, mashed chickpeas, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 7

Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a flat surface. Cut each sheet in half horizontally to create four rectangles.

Step 8

Spoon a quarter of the filling mixture along one long edge of a pastry rectangle, shaping it into a long log.

Step 9

Brush the opposite edge of the pastry with the beaten egg (if using), then roll the pastry over the filling to enclose, creating a long roll.

Step 10

Cut each long roll into six individual pieces and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rolls with more beaten egg, if using, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
