Instructions
- To make these vegan bean sausage rolls, start by sautéing onions and celery in a pan with olive oil. Add garlic and chili, then remove them from the heat once fragrant.
- Pulse black beans, kidney beans, and haricot beans in a food processor or mash in a bowl with a fork.
- Mix in the cooked onion, celery, garlic, agave syrup, tamari, and seasonings. Stir in oats a little at a time until the mixture is thick and sticky.
- Preheat the oven to 200C
- Unroll a sheet of puff pastry on a lined baking tray and add the bean mixture down the middle. Cut diagonal lines into the left and right sides of the pastry and fold the top and bottom over the bean log. Fold the left and right pastry lines over the log until you reach the end.
- Brush the pastry with tamari and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
- Extra tip: Toast fennel seeds for a more intense flavor, and chill the assembled sausage roll in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking for the perfect pastry crust. Serve with ketchup as a dip & enjoy!
