Number of servings and serving size

24 Rolls, Approx 55g each. Between 1 and 5 Rolls would be a serving.

List of ingredients

3 Large Free Range Eggs

½ Medium Sized Brown or Red Onion, roughly chopped

1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce (reduced salt)

2 Tablespoons Tomato Sauce (reduced salt)

2 Tablespoons BBQ Sauce (reduced salt)

1 Tablespoon Dried Mixed Herbs

Iodised Cooking Salt, one pinch

Ground Cracked Black Pepper, one pinch or to taste

1 Cup Cottage Cheese (Reduced Fat) (about 220g)

½ Cup Oat Bran

1 Cup of Quick Oats (also known as Minute Oats)

1 Large Carrot, grated (leave skin on)(About 140g)

3 Sheets Puff Pastry

50ml Milk

Optional ¼ Cup sesame seeds or poppy seeds to sprinkle on top before cooking (Not included in the nutrition information panel)

Note: if you only have rolled oats and not quick oats, add the oats into the food processor also at step 4.

Step-by-step Method

  1. Remove 3 puff pastry sheets from freezer and allow to defrost.

  2. Preheat oven to 200`c (400 ` F)

  3. Line two baking trays with baking paper or similar product.

  4. Add eggs, onion, sauces, herbs, oat bran and cottage cheese to food processor. Mix on low speed until a runny consistency and the onion is not in big lumps.

  5. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can still make this recipe. Finely chop the onion. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, add the cottage cheese and whisk again. Add the sauces, herbs, bran and onion and stir with a spoon until mixture is well combined).

  6. In a large bowl combine oats, carrot and salt and pepper. Mix to combine.

  7. Add wet mixture from food processor in to dry ingredients in bowl and mix with a large spoon until well combined. If you would like the roll filling to have a darker brown colour, resembling meat, you can add a few extra tablespoons of soy or BBQ sauce but make sure the filling doesn’t get too runny. If you need to thicken the filling add more oat bran.

  8. Cut the pastry sheets in half down the middle. In the bowl, divide the filling mixture roughly into six sections so you know how much to place in each of the six rectangles.

  9. Place the first sheet in front of you and brush the edge near the middle with milk.

  10. Place one sixth (or less if it is too much) of the filling mixture along the edge of the pastry.

  11. Carefully roll the pastry over and remove the plastic as you go until you reach the edge of the rectangle.

  12. Carefully pick up the pastry roll and place on the blue plastic so there is room around it.

  13. Cut the roll in half, then in half again so you have four veggie rolls, about 6cm long each. Carefully make three small 2-3cm diagonal parallel slices across the top of the pastry ///.

  14. Place the rolls on the baking tray in a row with at least 2 cm around the edge of each. (We will brush them with milk just prior to going in the oven)

  15. Repeat the previous step for the remaining filling mixture and pastry.

  16. Use a pastry brush or your fingers to lightly brush some milk onto the top of each roll. If you want you can sprinkle them with sesame seeds or poppy seeds or leave plain.

  17. Cook in oven about 15 – 25 min until crisp and golden. Check after 15 min, times will vary depending on your oven.
