Vegan Veggie Pastry Roll

This vegan veggie pastry roll recipe has become a staple for many of our fall family dinners and it is a hit for my vegans and omnivores!

The recipe started as a base for a veggie meatloaf that didn’t quite hold together. The filling was so delicious though and to save dinner, I thawed out some pastry dough, rolled it out and stuffed it. The result? A delicious centrepiece for dinner!

Now this recipe is a MUST for family gatherings and my kids look forward to it whenever I say it’s on the menu!

What You’ll Need to Make this Recipe

• frozen pastry dojgh
• veggie ground
• red lentils
• mushrooms
• red pepper
• yellow onion
• garlic
• red wine
• vegetable broth
• olive oil

The Filling

If it’s possible to make the filling a day ahead, it’s even more flavourful than just made. If this doesn’t work for you I can assure you it will be delicious made fresh too!

Soak the red lentils in water, about 2 cups so that they expand allowing it to cook faster. Chop all the veggies into tiny pieces and sauce them with the garlic and olive oil. Once softened, add the veggie ground and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the wine and allow it to cook down before adding the vegetable broth. Continue to simmer until the filling is “creamy” but not saucy.

Preparing the Pastry Dough

If you can get vegan pastry sheets then I suggest using those. Where I live there are packs of frozen pastry dough in brick form that you have to roll out. Thaw them until soft but still cold then roll thinly between two pieces of parchment lightly floured until a rectangle is formed.

Place the filling in the center of the dough, then fold the top and bottom in before rolling the sides. Imagine you’re rolling a burrito- it means you’re doing it right lol!

Score the tops of the rolls to let the steam out while baking. Bake at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes or until golden.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and add it to your holidays this year!
