Vegetarian Sausage Rolls

Stardustannie's Note:

These are a great pastry snack for a vegetarian...actually a lot of meat eaters don't even realise they aren't made from sausage meat.

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!

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.
