Ingredients

  • 1 x 425g tin brown lentils, drained
  • 100g button mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium brown onion, grated
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 3 Weet-Bix wheat biscuits, finely crushed
  • 2 square sheets frozen puff pastry, just thawed
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, optional

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, roughly mash lentils with a fork. Add veggies, tomato paste and soy sauce and stir well. Fold Weet-Bix wheat biscuits into lentil mixture.

  3. Step 3

    Cut puff pastry sheets in half. Spoon a quarter of the filling down a long edge of each pastry rectangle, roll to enclose filling and pinch seam to seal.

  4. Step 4

    Cut each roll into 6 pieces and place on prepared tray. Brush tops with a bit of water and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.

  5. Step 5

    Bake 15-18 minutes, until pastry is golden and filling is hot. Serve warm or at room temperature, with passata sauce for dipping.

Tips

  • Quickly prep veggies by pulsing onion, carrot, and mushrooms in a food processor instead of grating and dicing.
  • For a vegan roll use vegan (no-butter) puff pastry.
  • Mushrooms can be substituted with an equal quantity of riced cauliflower, or additional grated carrot.
