Party Sausage Rolls!!

The first thing I need to do in this recipe is to credit the blog that I got the original recipe from!!  So thanks to retromummy for the Vegetarian (but not Vegan!) recipe :)

I have made these Sausage Rolls for several Birthday Parties and social gatherings, and they always get rave reviews :)  So, for all of you who have enjoyed them so much... here's my recipe!

1 brown onion;
1 bunch fresh parsley;
150g rolled Oats;
150g Almonds;
350g packet of organic Tofu;
2 Tbsp Soy sauce;
3 Tbsp Chia Seeds &/or Linseeds, soaked in 9 Tbsp water;
4 Sheets Vegan Puff Pastry.

With a food processor:
Place Onion and Parsley into food processor and process until finely chopped, scrape down sides;
Add Almonds and Oats, again process until finely ground and mixed with the onion / herb mix;
Add Tofu and Soy Sauce and again process to combine.
Chia Seeds / Linseeds should be manually stirred into the mix.

With a blender:
Process Almonds, Oats, Onion & Parsley, and Tofu in individual batches in the blender, and scrape into a large mixing bowl;
Combine all ingredients into the mixing bowl and work it into an even mixture;
Lay out pastry and cut in half lengthways;
Make a 'sausage' of our Vegan filling lengthways along each half of pastry, and roll it up;
These long sausage rolls can be cut into whatever length you desire, but for parties I usually cut each length into 6 segments;
Bake according to the directions for your pastry.  Mine are usually around 20 minutes at 220 degrees Celcius.

Serve with tomato sauce for dipping :)

Mmmmm... Porridge...

My version of the classic yummy winter warming breakfast food of champions!!  Whenever this is served there is a scraped clean pot and five licked clean bowls... Content and happy boys with the energy to face up to a busy day of Kindy and play :)

2 1/2 cups rolled oats;

1L rice milk;

1 cup filtered water;

1 (generous) Tbsp Chia seeds;

1 (generous) Tbsp Barley Malt;

Combine in a saucepan and bring to the boil;

Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all grains are nicely cooked through.

Serve into bowls and garnish with Cinnamon, Cloves, Maple Syrup and Currants!!

And enjoy!!!
