Spicy 3 Bean Sausage Rolls

An easy recipe for vegan sausage rolls made with beans and lightly spiced.

 

Don't you just love puff pastry?

I do.

Puff pastry is golden, crisp, buttery and every so satisfying as well as comforting.

2024 UPDATE 

Shrinkflation has hit. Ready rolled puff pastry used to be a standard 375g across big brands and supermarket own brands.

It's now shrunk to 320g (Jusrol, Tesco & Asda, maybe other supermarkets too) which can make a big difference (you end up with too much filling).

So be aware you may need extra pastry or you will have leftover filling (don't try and add it all to these smaller sheets of pastry).

Should I make my own puff pastry?

Hell no, not unless you have lots of free time on your hands. 

I learned how to make puff pastry from scratch at school and it's pretty satisfying, but life's too short and ready-made puff pastry is pretty good quality. 

So if you have the time, make your own puff pastry, otherwise make these Spicy 3 Bean Sausage Rolls with shop bought pastry.

Is puff pastry vegan?

Did I mention they are vegan too? Jus Rol puff pastry is suitable for vegans, so everyone is happy and we love them, but hey it's puff pastry.

Making the filling

I gave the beans and spices a few pulses (pulses haha!) in my power blender, but you could just mash them in a bowl. 

Do leave some whole beans, it's gives a better texture.

Now the spices, I didn't make them overly spicy as Cooper was eating them, but feel free to increase the amount of spice you use, if you would like them a bit hotter.

I do hope you give these a try.

Vegan Puff Pastry Fillings

Once you've tried these 3 bean sausage rolls you may want to try some more pastry fillings. 

As you can see I served them nursery style with chips and peas.

Are air fried chips any good?

Yes, they are actually and the chips were healthier than usual as I cooked them in another new toy, my Philips Air Fryer from Tesco Direct.

I still can't get over the fact it only takes ½ tbsp of oil to cook enough chips for 4 people. Isn't technology great?

And of course we all had a dollop of ketchup on the side. Shhhhhhh! don't tell anyone!

Mushroom, Lentil & Nut Wellington

A rich mushroom, lentil and nut wellington in golden, crisp puff pastry. The most luxurious pie to serve up as a vegetarian and vegan main course with roast potatoes, vegetables and onion gravy for Sunday dinner, Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

You could also try my butternut, red pepper and potato puff pastry plait. The roast vegetables sit on a bed of sundried tomato puree and are topped with vegan parmesan, it's absolutely glorious!
