Vegetarian Sausage Recipe

Mushrooms

This vegan sausage roll recipe uses mushrooms, as they naturally are very flavoursome when cooked. This is due to having a natural MSG flavour making us want more.

We cook our mushrooms up with garlic, leek and fresh herbs to help layer up those delicious flavours.

Miso Paste

The miso paste adds a certain umami flavour which adds to the flavours of this plant based sausage roll. I really love this Organic Brown Miso Paste for all of my cooking that requires it.

Lentils

It wouldn’t be a vegan lentil sausage roll without the queen Puy Lentil.

The lentils in this recipe helps bind the filling together. They absorb the flavours beautifully and provide and iron rich and protein punch.

These are by far a superb lentil and my favorite for a range of dishes like this lentil bake or lentil soup.
