Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves diced
  • 100 g mushrooms sliced
  • 110 g walnuts chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 1 can green lentils drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp tamari (or use soy sauce if not gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp plain flour (I used gluten-free)
  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry sheet (I used gluten-free)
  • 4 tbsp cranberry sauce (optional, see substitutions)
  • sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Firstly, chop the mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, rosemary and thyme.
  • Heat a non stick pan with olive oil adding in what you just chopped and fry for a few minutes until the mushrooms soften.
  • Now add in the drained lentils, tamari, generous pinch of salt & pepper and fry for a further 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the mix to a food processor and pulse into a mince texture (don't over blend into a paste).
  • Tip out the mix into a large mixing bowl and add in the flour and fold it through the mix. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  • Meanwhile roll out your puff pastry sheet onto a lined baking sheet. Place the lentil mix to one side of the sheet and shape into a long sausage roll. Top with cranberry sauce, and fold over the top. Seal the edges with a form so you have a visible seam running down the side of each roll, brush with olive oil (or dairy-free milk) to make the top of the puff pastry brown, and top with sesame seeds. Allow to cool for a couple minutes, slice with a sharp knife then enjoy!

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In a sealed container at room temperature for a couple days. You can place in the fridge but they go softer when cold. Reheat by placing in the oven or air fryer until crispy.
To Freeze: You can absolutely freeze these cooked lentil and walnut sausage rolls if you’re looking to stock your freezer. Wrap individually or as one whole roll in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 200C for 15 minutes or so until heated through and crispy, or in your air fryer for 8 minutes (even better!).
Tip 1: Blending the mix helps to make a more compact sausage mixture.
Tip 2: Topping with cranberry sauce before rolling is optional. You could also try using a chutney or mustard.
Tip 3: Make sure to bake until the pastry has gone a golden brown colour for a crunchy sausage roll.
