  1. These are AWESOME! I just made a half recipe to try them out. I was a bit skeptical about the non-meat filling but they fooled my husband! I stuck to the recipe this time but next round I am going to spice them up a bit more. Thanks!
     
  2. Oh My Goodness!!! We were looking for a vegetarian meal the kids will enjoy too, and although I didn't quite believe that they would approximate meat sausage rolls, we gave them a try. It is true - they are virtually indistinguishable from meat, with great texture and taste. We used walnuts as suggested by another reader and I put the mixture in the fridge for an hour or so before making the rolls. To boost the vegie content I will likely add some finely grated carrot/zucchini next time. Thank you!!
     
  3. I have just made these rolls and am very pleased with the results. They look like British sausage rolls and the flavour is pleasant if not entirely sausage tasting. I did add garlic powder, onion powder, a little salt and some cayenne pepper and intend to spice them up a little more the next time I make them. A good, easy recipe.
     
  4. These are absolutely fabulous. Honestly I have never made a meat substitute this close to meat! I did make a few tweaks however, like the walnut substitution. Also, I added a tsp of smoked paprika, a tsp of salt, pepper, 1 garlic clove, 1 tbsp Worcestershire and upped the oats by 2 tbsp to accommodate the extra liquid and used 1 egg instead of 3 (I always find too much egg can make fillings rubbery when they go cold). Also, found the first batch kind of mushy to put together and they lost their shape a bit as a result of handling, so what I do is put the rough puff in the freezer (after defrosting in fridge) for about 10 mins to firm up and about 30 mins of the batter in the fridge to firm up, does the trick! My roommates are all meat eaters and they said "Wow I can't believe you are eating meat again!" because they had zero clue these were meatless. Best recipe ever, I will be using the filling for other meat substitutes.
     
  5. People could not believe they were not meat. They looked exactly like the filling in a sausage roll from an Aussie bakery.The kids loved them and anyone who tried them raved about them. This is an absolute gem of a recipe. It does however need to be seasoned. I used fresh chopped chives, parsley, S & P and garlic powder. I sprinkled the tops with sesame seeds.

Tweaks

  1. This standalone recipe is quite bland. I recommend adding a teaspoon of mixed herbs. Since I started adding the mixed herbs, I have had nothing but praise for my sausage rolls! Many people have had no clue that these are vegetarian as they taste just like the meat version
     
  2. We make these on a regular basis but we always use walnuts instead of pecans. My brother-in-law also makes them but he adds a bit of grated cheese before rolling them up. Either way is good. Nay, GREAT! Simple and delicious. They freeze well too - we are actually having some tonight thawed first in the microwave and currently crisping up in the oven. I love them in my lunch box :)
