I was glad to find this recipe...G'day Johanna. I was glad to find this recipe, there is a distinct lack of recipes for vego 'sausage' rolls on the net! <br /><br />I started off following exactly, and then after only grating one large carrot, I freaked out about too much carrot and just started winging it with the ingredients. The tahini was the key though, that absolutely drives the taste for me. Perhaps I put too much in, but either way, they taste fantastic. I also freaked out when I read "1cp grated cheese" but I halved that and used ricotta as well and it seemed to work out nicely. <br /><br />I wanted something to freeze for busy nights or for lazy weekend lunches and they're perfect for that. They'll be a good way to use up leftover vegies too. I put a tiny bit of chilli in, because it was there, but I can't taste it so maybe a bit more next time. I'm thinking I'll experiment with other base flavours too, eg. mustard, curries, etc etc. <br /><br />Thanks, not just for the recipe but for the inspiration!

We are still getting used to the gluten free stuff for my niece but I am sure we will get better at making sure she has good food!<BR/><BR/>thanks Kathleen - hey pastries are not boring - they are just not party food - I think sausage rolls appeal to kids because they are small - worth a try seeing if they will eat these - because if they don't you will no doubt enjoy them :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-77615336287402870052007-07-23T13:19:00.000+10:002007-07-23T13:19:00.000+10:00See, and I usually get boring and go for a vegetar...See, and I usually get boring and go for a vegetarian pastie when I'm craving a vegetarian pastry treat!

Your mum is awesome to have made you veg sausage rolls! <BR/><BR/>My mom is also that nice. When she makes her special sauce for meatballs, she has me bring over my veggie balls and makes me my own... So nice. If she knew how to make my veggie balls, she would, too. <BR/><BR/>Mums are the best!<BR/><BR/>What you write here really rings compassionate about you (your concern about your sweet niece) and also is something i can relate to so absolutely:<BR/><BR/>"... I felt for my little celiac niece who desperately wanted some Twisties (cheese corn snacks). It is hard sometimes to be different from everyone else. I feel a pang when I attend catered events..."<BR/><BR/>Wow, do i know how that goes, and i'm sure a lot of your readers here can relate.<BR/><BR/>A Jungle Party!
