Vegan Veggie Rolls

These are super yummy and super easy! I was so excited to discover new way vegetarian pastry. I found this recipe online and adapted it to kiwi ingredients.

Ingredients:
2 courgettes grated
2 carrots grated
red onion very finely chopped
2+ cloves of garlic crushed (depending on how much you like)
1 large orange kumara diced finely and boiled till soft
small tin of tomato paste
1 cup of crushed rolled oats (i use wholegrain- instant is fine too)
mixed herbs
sweet chilli/bbq sauce or any other sauces you like
1 packet of new way vegetarian society approved pastry

All you need to do is finely chop the onion and crush the garlic and fry in the pan on a low heat till it becomes transparent. Then add grated courgettes and carrots and stir fry for about 5 minutes. Drain away any excess liquid and set aside.

Once kumara has been boiled, drain away all liquid and mash it up. Mix in the courgette/carrot mixture with the rolled oats. Once the mixture is all mixed up together it should be a lovely orange with green speckles from the courgettes, add the sauces, herbs, paste and salt and pepper. I also like a little bit of spice so add some paprila and chiili.

Take the pastry sheets out and spooon the mixture across the bottom 1/4 of the pastry sheet, then roll up and puncture with fork holes! Bake in the oven for about 20 mins until hte pastry has browned slightly. Serve hot or cold, they're delicious either way!

P.S. You can make them as big or small as you like, for a dinner with salad or for a work morning tea snack!
