Vegan Sausage Rolls

Vegan Sausage Rolls

These vegan sausage rolls are a super quick and easy appetizer,
Perfect for potlucks and holiday parties :)

Vegan Sausage Rolls

These vegan sausage rolls are honestly so ridiculously easy, I kind of feel weird making them into a recipe because it’s honestly just assembly, but they’re so good I just had to share. I’ve made them about 5 times now ever since Eddie implored me to make them for him, and he is always super pumped to eat them anytime I do. I’ve served them at my Friendsmas party and they were very well received by my vegetarian and omnivorous friends, so hopefully you and the finger-food-lovin’ folks in your life will enjoy them too!

But you know I can’t make a recipe post without some sort of internal reflection =P

If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know that I’m a chronic oversharer of my life. I’ve shared my struggles of dealing with a breakup, with mental health, heck I’ve even briefly mentioned how I started a pretty downward spiral of luck by pooping my pants on the subway. I’ve always been somewhat of an open book and I honestly have no idea why.

Vegan Sausage Rolls

The other day, someone asked me if I find comfort in being so open. And it sort of stoped me and made me think:

Honestly, why am I so open?

I’m not particularlyΒ proud of all the mistakes I’ve made. In relationships and breakups, it takes two to make it work, and it also takes two for people to fall out of love with each other. I’ve learned a lot, and I’m pretty open to admitting when I’m wrong. But why? Most people are quite private and tend to only share those embarrassing stories under the anonymity of Reddit or with close friends and family. But me, I like to put it all out there. Strangers, family, friends, whomever.

My first answer was that I thought maybe it was because I’d rather control the story myself, or make fun of myself before someone could make fun of me.

Vegan Sausage Rolls

Which, I feel is mostly true.

But maybe there’s something more? I also thought that maybe with how my mother raised me to ALWAYS tell the truth, to the point where I feel a pretty overwhelming anxiety when I hide something from anyone.

And then I tabled that thought for later, but it kept gnawing at the back of my mind.

Vegan Sausage Rolls

What’s the point of being so open? Aren’t I just giving people more fuel to the fire of my embarrassment? Am I really helping myself by being this public with my thoughts, mistakes, or just general life snags?

I think what it is, is that I take comfort in not feeling alone. Who hasn’t had a terrible breakup? Why kid ourselves in denying that we may have had an accident in public before? We all make mistakes, and sometimes it’s nice to know that someone else is in the thick of it like you are.

So maybe that’s why I do it. Share these ridiculous thoughts in the hope that someone else is feeling that way too.

Vegan Sausage Rolls

Vegan Sausage Rolls
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the sausage rolls

  • 1 package vegan puff pastry (500 g) I used the Maison brand
  • 4 vegan sausages (I used 2 packages of Field Roast in the Apple Sage and Mexican Chipotle flavours)
  • flour for dusting
  • 3 tbsp aquafaba or soy milk
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper or 2 tbsp sesame seeds to garnish

For the dip:

  • 3 tbsp vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp soy milk
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Cut the vegan sausages about 1 1/2 inches long (I cut each sausage into 5 pieces, yielding 40 pieces from 8 sausages) Set aside.
  3. On a well-floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until about 1/8 inch thick (basically until you have 40 1.5 x 3 inch pieces)
  4. Wrap the cut sausages in the puff pastry and set on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush with aquafaba or soy milk and sprinkle with your garnish of choice.
  6. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until golden. Depending on how hot your oven is, it might need to bake for longer so check at 12 minutes and bake until you have a light golden sheen.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack.

To make the dip:

  1. Combine all ingredients until uniform and desired thickness. Feel free to add more soy milk or more mayo to make it thinner or thicker.
  2. Serve with the sauce and dip away :)

Notes

You could cut the pastry into 8 pieces and roll the whole sausages and cut from there, but every time I did that I'd get a weird smushed cut so I ended up just rolling them again anyway. You do whatever you like :)

    Love you. It’s called airing dirty laundry by the people who say β€œI am a private person β€œ. Good for them. Good for us.

    Your ultimate answer is kind of what my first guess was. I think, in some ways, all this social media presence β€” especially the visual ones β€” we all have probably contributes. There are so many super-polished, perfect-looking accounts out there that create a certain pressure to present yourself that way. It’s easy to forget, because these people are all working very hard to create this perfect image, that there’s a whole world going on just outside the frame. So sharing the more personal, less topical stuff lets followers see the little dude behind the curtain, so to speak, and reminds them that your life isn’t any more perfect than theirs is, even if your sausage rolls or whatever end up looking prettier than theirs. :) My favourite “online friends,” so to speak, are usually the ones who at least occasionally share some of the more human stuff.

My latest YouTube video with my recipe for EZ PZ sourdough bread is live. No need to wait for a levain, no autolyze, and no super wet, sticky dough or gummy bread!
🍞
I've been thoroughly enjoying all this bread and how consistently delicious it has been! Please go give it a watch to hear me wax and wane about bread, or check out the blog post for a video with no talking, only bread πŸ˜‚

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!
πŸͺ
Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

Video is up on the channel, and recipe is on the blogπŸ₯°https://bit.ly/2LilQk3#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #sourdoughdiscard #sourdough #πŸͺ

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
πŸ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
πŸ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity πŸ˜‚β£οΈπŸ˜­Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
πŸ‚
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
πŸ‚
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
πŸ‚
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
πŸ‚
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
πŸ‚
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
πŸ’š
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles πŸ˜‚
πŸ’š
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long πŸ˜…)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog πŸ±πŸŒ³πŸ‚ some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
πŸ‚
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets πŸ™ƒ), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

I've been eating this nearly every day for the past four days πŸ˜‚ bΓ‘nh hỏi thα»‹t nΖ°α»›ng chay! I've been meaning to develop a nem nΖ°α»›ng chay recipe to go along with this but this week was not the week haha.

Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bΓ‘nh hỏi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount πŸ˜‚
