Ingredients

Makes 24 pieces (8 serves)
Prep time 15 minutes

Cook time 25 minutes

Dairy free, Vegetarian, Vegan

• ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

• ¼ cup ground flax seeds

• 400g can brown lentils, rinsed and drained

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1 carrot, grated

• 1 red onion, finely diced

• 2 tsp dried oregano

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• ¼ cup fresh parsley, shredded

• 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

• Tomato sauce, to serve

How to make

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with paper.

2. Place the walnuts, flax seeds, lentil, garlic and olive oil into a food processor and blitz for 2-3 minutes, or until well combined in a chunky texture.

3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the carrot, onion, oregano, soy sauce, tomato paste and mix to combine. Add in the parsley, season well with salt and pepper and mix.

4. Working one sheet at a time, lay a sheet of puff pastry on a chopping board and cut down the centre, to form two pieces. Place a long sausage shape of the filling down the centre of each piece of pastry. Roll the pastry over the filling to enclose the mixture. Cut each long sausage roll into 6 smaller bite-size pieces.

5. Repeat with the remaining sheet of pastry and remaining mixture, making 24 pieces total.

6. Place the rolls onto a lined tray and spray lightly with olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
