Made these tonight. They were a HUGE hit! My husband and I who aren't vegetarian preferred them to meat sausage rolls, the vegetarians loved them and the meatlover ate them (probably just out of defense of his carnivore lifestyle--although I didn't tell him they were vego at first. He said they were okay but a bit wierd. Then he saw his older siblings eating them and cottoned on!)
Anyway, the recipe seems a bit wierd, but they are absolutely delicous, so I recommend giving them a try, although the recipe is very similar to the "cottage rolls" posted below and this seems even healthier so next time I'm going to try that variation, with layers of phyllo to try and make them even more healthy (then I can drink more Margaritas, right? . . . see my post under drinks . . . mmmmmmmm ;D ;D ;D)

I have made these a few times and have had to pass the recipe out. They are good.
-
I was very doubtful with this recipe and everyone saying that they didn't know that they had not meat in them....unitil I made them. Definitely fooled the crowds - DH calls them no sausage rolls ;)
-
These are a complete hit in our house too - both kids hoover them down, and guests cant believe there is no meat in them. I add in a couple of medium carrots at the stage of blitzing the onion - just to hide some extra veg in them.
-
Oh my goodness these were a hit!
My in-laws are vegetarian and this is the first ever recipe my father-in-law has requested for my mother-in-law to make.....massive compliment!
-
I've made these a few times too and they go down really well, even with the die hard Carnivores.
-
I've made these a couple of times too and my meat loving family loves them. Have wowed family and friends and amazed them with the fact they are vego. Really easy to make and fantastic with the EDC puff pastry.
-
I made there this evening as part of our supper.DH couldn't believe they didn't contain meat as he ate every morsel.Next time I would only use 2 eggs as the mixture was still a little wet even after letting it stand.
-
Made these tonight, and I used 2 eggs also as CC suggested, and popped the mix in the fridge for 30 minutes before putting on the pastry.

Hubby didn't believe there wasn't meat in them, so I had to show him the recipe :P
I found it a little bit bland for my taste....so I might try using Worcestershire sauce instead of tamari, and add in some carrot too.
It was nice though to have a "sausage roll" that wasn't greasy 8)
-
I made these today. They are delish!!!
So tasty, but unfortunately not low calories. So will have to limit my intake. Have told my partner I have made him some sausage rolls but he hasn't tried yet. I will see if he notices they aren't meat! I wouldn't have known if I hadn't made them.
I made them with the butter puff pastry from woolies only issue I had was trying to put the mixture on the puff pastry and then roll. I think having a piping bag would make it a lot easier. Might try that next time.
Wish mine looked as good as maddy's picture though.
-
i don't know if this will help anyone, but if you don't have a piping bag, I've always used a fork when making sausage rolls and its never been a problem
-
I usually just make a line of filling down the middle and use two spoons or forks to shape it before rolling.
-
Last time I made these I prepared the filling the night before and refrigerated. I found it easier to work with.
-
If you're using bought pastry I find it better to not fully thaw it as well. So long as you can roll it without cracking, it is easier than will fully thawed soft pastry.
-
Oh yes, learnt that lesson also. Hard to get them to look nice if you thaw the pastry too much.
-
:) made these today added carrot and parmasen cheese didnt have the sauce it said done a bit of spring gully hot sauce and tomotoe sauce used freshed herb and they were delish will be making them again
-
I made these for a children's party recently and they were a huge hit! I'm definitely saving these to my favourites :D
-
Served them to my partner and his apprentice. Both loved them and the apprentice wouldn't believe they were vegetarian. He still swears they had meat in them!
Will def be making them again and will try the trick of not thawing the bought puff pastry too much.
-
I'm having trouble locating the recipe for these, is it possible for someone to post it again please?!
-
Hi Paula
It seems the path has changed. I'll change the link but as the recipe is in the public domain, on the official TMX recipe community, so I'll just copy and then it won't get lost. It really is a great recipe.
Ingredients
1 onion , peeled and halved
2 tbsp mixed herbs of choice
100 g walnuts
95 g organic rolled oats
3 eggs
150 g fetta cheese
1 tbsp Tamari sauce
45 g organic breadcrumbs
Rough Puff Pastry or 3 sheets Butter Puff Pastry
Sesame seeds (optional)
Preparation
Pre-heat oven to 200°C
Place onion and herbs into TM bowl and chop for 6 seconds on speed 6.
Add walnuts, oats and chop for 3 seconds on speed 6. Scrape down.
Add eggs, cheese, tamari, breadcrumbs and mix to combine for
20 seconds on speed 5.
Cut just thawed puff pastry in half on a working bench.
Place 1/6th of the mixture onto the long edge of the pastry and roll, cut into four equal portions, brush the tops with whole milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Place sausage rolls on a lined baking tray, brush with beaten egg and score with knife. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 20 minutes at 200°C until crisp and golden.
-
Thanks Lellyj!
Just wondering, what is Tamari sauce? Is there something I can use as a substitute?
-
Paula, substitute soy sauce. I actually prefer the taste with soy sauce. Tamari is Japanese soy sauce that is wheat free
-
Glad I found this, and can't wait to try. Miss 10 has recently decided to go vegetarian, so will b great for her to enjoy a treat when I make sausage rolls for the rest of us. Think I'll make a batch and freeze them.
Amanda
-
They freeze really well Amanda so she will love you :)
-
Amanda you may find that you prefer the vego ones! I used to make 2 kinds, but now we all like the vegetarian ones more, less greasy, so I make double of those.
-
Yes double or triple batch for me here too. It took a lot of convincing the SWHL that there was no meat in them the first time I made them. Now they are the preferred here too ;)
-
I made these today because all of the reviews sold me and as with everyone else I agree "you can't tell they are vegetarian" !! I've never made sausage rolls before as I cant bring myself to buy that yukky sausage mince... The recipe is fairly forgiving I think because I didn't have any fetta (only a measly 25g of parmesan) so used this along with 2 tablespoons (instead of 1) of soy sauce for that extra bit of salt that the fetta would have given and it still tasted great. I added a fair bit of black pepper too. Also as advised above I only used the 2 eggs and let it set in the fridge for awhile - the mixture thickened up and handled perfectly. Might try adding some processed carrot next time or even a bit of broccoli (I don't have little kids who need the vegies hidden so a bit of green would be alright with us) - but all in all I won't mess about with this recipe too much as its SO GOOD !!! Thanks
-
What can I use instead of fetta? Not a fan at all.

You could use ricotta. :)
-
or Parmesan

Thank you :)

Well I made these last night but modified it since we cannot use nuts here, so this is what I did. In replace of walnuts we had sunflower kernals, tamari was replaced by worcestershire and the breadcrumbs were replaced with rice crumbs. DH said it could of still had meat, but he was saying that as he ate his 4/5 sausage roll :-)) and DS who doesn't like trying new food things took ages to finally take a bite and ended up eating two and he didn't think they were too bad either, as for DD she ate the first one no worries, then balked at the second one, but I'm going to put that down to she hadn't eaten much yesterday, so said DH. I will be making them again as I thought they were really good and like everyone else has said not much oily residue if any. I've even told the family expect them at least once a month ;D ;D
-

DC you would NEVER know it was in there if that is what you are worried about.
-
I agree, Faffa, the final result doesn't taste as if there's fetta in at all. Good to see people enjoying this recipe, I always get good feedback when I make it.
-
Just a quick question. Do you cook these before you freeze them?
DG :-*
-
I have only ever frozen them uncooked ???
-
I have done both but I suggest you go for uncooked and then cook. I have cooked them from frozen but forgot to note the time and temp (I am sure I reduced the temp for a little while they defrosted ??? and then turned it up later)
-
I've frozen the cooked version so we can just grab smaller portions out of the freezer and warm them up in the microwave for quick snacks as we need them. From frozen, it only takes a minute on high for one serving, instant snack or lunch. They aren't as perfect as directly from the oven but wrapped in paper towel, pretty close. I guess if I was doing it for entertaining or to impress, I'd freeze the raw ones and do the oven cooking though...
-
Thank you all for your replies. I made these yesterday for lunch and they were delish ;D
DH is taking the leftovers for lunch today. When I buy some more walnuts I will make a batch and freeze.
DG :-*
-
I had every kind of nut except walnuts ;D I used pecans and it is in the fridge and I will make them tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.
-
I made the EDC Ruff Puff Pastry tonight and finished up the sausage rolls. DH is on his second one and still has no idea that it's not meat. LOL. I am in a house full of men who love to eat meat and resist anything vegetarian. I will tell him but probably not until he eats one or two more ;D BTW it seems fine with the pecans instead of walnuts.
-
The other non-meat sausage roll recipe on the forum Cottage Rolls (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4310.0) uses pecans so the 2 are quite interchangeable.
-
Thanks for this! We had a vegetarian visitor last week and I thought I'd look around here. I tried this one and I'm glad! My 8 year old who is very picky loved it and keeps asking for more so this will be a keeper. I used 1 tbsp dried basil and 1 tbsp dried oregano for the herbs. Didn't change anything else except that I froze the rolls before cutting them since I thought it was easier to cut them when frozen, just like I do with biscuits. Thanks a lot!
-
Any suggestions for a non dairy substitution for the feta? I like the sound of these but would like my boys to be able to have some too. Or would they be ok just leaving it out?
-
How would this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3035.0) go Lisel?
-
Can't wait to try these. I didn't bring the tmx on holidays so will have to wait until I get home. I always use it the Pampas 25% fat reduce puff pastry. I'm not normally a fan of fat reduced, but this is lovely, crisp and no oily residue.
-
Thanks Judy, I'll give that a go, as soon as my savory yeast order turns up!
-
Lisel... I am a vegan and make some very similar to Cyndi's recipe but the recipe I use has silken tofu instead of the fetta. You won't taste the tofu, but it gives it the right texture. :P You may like to try that.
-
I always use it the Pampas 25% fat reduce puff pastry.
I always use that pastry too meganjane, they turned out great for this recipe.
-
Squirrel I did think of that but I've made tofu based sausage rolls before and the meat eaters complained loudly (which is unusual) so I was hoping to be able to tell them no tofu, but maybe a little bit would go unnoticed :-)
-
I think I'd use rough puff or butter puff as Cyndi suggests in her recipe next time. I found the pastry didn't rise and flake as it usually does with regular sausage rolls. It seems to need the fat from the sausage meat.
They were very tasty. I'm going to put some minced mushroom in next time and more fresh herbs.
-
Minced mushrooms are a great idea, Meganjane
-
I have made these several times now and everyone is convinced they have meat in them. They are devine! I took advice from comments of the forum and left the mixture in the fridge for about 1/2 hr. They have come out perfect everytime. The herbs used are parsley, rosemary, thyme & black pepper. Today I also added 1 carrot, 1/2 green capsicum & 1/2 red capsicum + 1 pinch chilli flakes. :P
-
My husband has requested these for lunch today - last time I made them I used WeetBix instead of breadcrumbs (weevils in the breadcrumbs yech) and they turned out great. Will add carrot today!
-
Made these for the first time yesterday and they got a big thumbs up all round! I used butter puff pastry, 2 eggs and added some carrot when blitzing the onion - all suggestions from here. Will definitely be making these again.
-
i didnt have any feta, i used a mix of goats, parm, and tasty cheese + 1 teaspoon of garlic and a few tbls of ketchup manis
i did try one for B/F and i must say OMG these are fantastic i hope DD likes them 2
-
Subscribing to make!
-
Has anyone cooked these from frozen? just wondering how long they will take :)
-
anybody??
-
I dont know for the conventional oven but I have microwaved them from frozen. Wrapped in paper towel and I think it was about 1.5 - 2 min on high.
-
I often throw frozen things into the oven to re-heat Megan. I don't time them, I just keep an eye on them but it doesn't seem to take too much longer than unfrozen items in my experience - 20 minutes perhaps for sausage rolls, depending on their size.
-
Thanks JD that is what I figured but didn't end up needing them so they are still in the freezer. i will time them when i do end up cooking them and let you all know :) Phew...birthday parties over for a while.
-
Made these this afternoon so yummy, even my meat lover DH gobbled them up, mind you I didn't tell him to after he had eaten them that there was no meat, definitely will be making these again :)
-

Very good! Kids ate them up with no issues:) less greasy and keeps well.
Thanks for a great idea!
-
they look lovely nameisserene, well done
-
I have bought the ingredients and hopefully will get around to making them this afternoon, it's going to be hot here so maybe I won't get them cooked today, but I"ve read the mixture is ok to leave in the refrigerator over night assemble the next day,
-
the mixture freezes well 2 AB
-
Could someone please tell me where I can find this recipe. It looks and sounds great.
-
This link is on the first page Alexis but here it is again

-
Thanks, JudyDawn! You're always on the ball.
-
I am going to try this tonight!
-
These are on my list to make soon for upcoming birthday parties, everybody loves them.
-
Thanks for bumping these. Must make them again this week as they are fabulous
-
Well I never would have believed it! My DH a devout meat eater ate these this morning and thoroughly enjoyed. He did not believe me when I told him there was no meat.
I have a vegetarian friend and have wanted to make these for some time - yesterday when I looked at the Feta cheese which I had opened in the fridge and the two sheets of leftover pastry in the freezer I decided to give it a go (have frozen uncooked the remainder for my friend who is yet to try them.) Will absolutely make these again and next time I have to bring a plate these will be on top of the list. I might try with Filo pastry as DH is diabetic and really should not eat so much fat.
Still can't believe that they tasted to good!
-
Subbing
-
I've made the vegetarian sausage rolls many times and have tweaked the recipe a little to suit our families needs.
Only used 1 egg and found that the mixture was less moist and easier to handle and added 200gms of fetta cheese as that was what was in the pkt I bought. Lovely and a lot easier to make.
-
Just wondering if I can freeze these for use tomorrow afternoon? Just want to pop them in oven 30 mins before serving? Thnx
-
Can't see why not Patzee, I do this different recipe for vegetarian sausage rolls (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4310.0) and I always freeze them then just take out how many I want to heat up.
-
These are a massive hit indeed. If you don't tell anyone they are vege they will never know...
And when you tell them they won't believe you! ;D
Great recipe!
-
Thanks Judy and Thermokitchen. Good to have healthy food in freezer for emergencies. I will make your version soon also Judy. Looks so healthy with all the oats!
-

I just keep my mouth shut. As you say they don't know.
-

They freeze very well Patzee. I have a very dainty version in the freezer for my mum's high tea birthday party.
-
Is there any chance at all someone can send me a screenshot of this recipe? My vegetarian daughter leaves the country in a couple days and she requested these for her going away party tomorrow!! I just went to get the list of ingredients and the book is still in storage (just shifted - right before Christmas....) I've made them so many times I'm fairly certain I can remember the shopping list (feta, walnuts, egg, bread for crumbing, parsley, tamari (not sure if that's in there or we've added it over time) onion, pastry) but I can't rely on my memory for amounts and given how sloppy the mix can be I don't want to guess!
So if there is any chance of anyone reading this and can help I would be so appreciative! Otherwise I have to drive to the storage unit and find the right box.....
-
You will find the link to the recipe in the first posting on page 1 of this thread jsthermie. Not sure if it’s Cyndi’s recipe or a clone of it, nevertheless I think it is very similar.
