Really! So good. You totally get the sense of a sausage roll and they’re perfect for vegetarians. I invented these for my own kids’ birthday parties before we moved to the farm, when the whole family was vegetarian.
They’re delicious and you won’t miss the meat. I served them with sweet chilli sauce or tomato sauce at little kids’ parties all those years ago, but for dinner I would serve them with steamed veggies. A rocket, pine nut and haloumi salad would go perfectly, too.
Makes 16 small sausage rolls or 8 large.

150 g breadcrumbs
60 g rolled oats
1 zucchini, large, finely grated
2 carrots, finely grated
1 onion, finely grated
150 g chickpeas, cooked or tinned and drained
2 free-range eggs
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp salt
black pepper, a few good grinds
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp dried mixed herbs
4 sheets puff pastry sheets, partially thawed
1 tbsp full-cream milk
sesame seeds, for sprinkling
