Vegan non sausage rolls

Man these were good. 

I read on another vegan blog that puff pastry is vegan so I thought I would make some sausage rolls of the vegan variety.

Wouldn't you know it, the first shop I visited only had 'butter enriched' puff pastry so I had to venture to a larger supermarket where a huge choice confronted me.  I opted for a 'lighter' version and I couldn't tell any difference between 'lighter' and normal version when I cooked it later.

To make the filling I finely chopped carrots, celery, mushrooms and courgette and threw them into a pan.  When they were cooked I added some raw spring onion and some vegan mozzarella style cheese I had picked up earlier.  I then mashed up some borlotti and kidney beans and added them to bind the mixture together.  I put small amounts of this mixture on the puff pastry and formed them into sausage rolls which I then baked at mark six until they were golden.

The different contents of the mixture meant no bite was the same and they were absolutely lovely.  I have some mix left so I'm going to buy some more pastry and cook them up for easy lunches.
