Party time!

Part and parcel of the festive season is of course the traditional buffet! I love a buffet! My friend Nicky from work is totally on my wave length here and agrees with me that there are few better meals than a buffet, and what buffet is complete without sausage rolls?! As a vegetarian, good vege sausage rolls are hard to find so I am a huge fan of my friend Dave's vege sausage rolls. They are super quick and easy to make and sooooo delicious. There are only 4 ingredients (including the eggwash) and can be in the oven in under ten minutes.
Dave's Vegetarian Sausage Rolls

1 sheet of ready made puff pastry (you could of course make your own but I have never attempted rough puff myself!),
1 pack of cauldron vegetarian sausages,
3 generous tbsp of red onion chutney/marmalade,
1 egg.

1. Preheat the oven to 180C fan/gas mark 4.
2. Cut the sausages into pieces and mash with a potato masher. Add the chutney and stir well. (It does NOT look attractive at the stage but trust me it will be yummy!)
3. Lay out the sheet of puff pastry and cut in half lengthways.
4. Put half the mixture down the middle of each of the sheets you have cut and roll up, giving the seam a bit of a squeeze to keep the mixture in.
5. Turn seam side down and cut each roll into 8 pieces, so you have 16 in total.
6. Break the egg into a cup and mix. Brush each sausage roll with the egg wash and then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.


A must for the festive season, and a great addition to your buffet for vege friends! Trust me, both meat eaters and veges will love these.
