Print Recipe

Mary Berry Lentil Rolls are a vegetarian version of sausage rolls, made by stuffing flaky puff pastry with a seasoned lentil mixture. The filling typically includes green or brown lentils, onions, carrots, celery, and savory herbs. Once wrapped and baked, the result is a crisp, golden roll filled with a moist and flavorful plant-based filling.

Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 carrot, grated

  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped

  • 1 cup cooked green or brown lentils (or 1 tin, drained and rinsed)

  • 1 tbsp tomato purée

  • 1 tsp soy sauce

  • ½ tsp dried thyme or mixed herbs

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 egg (for binding or use flax egg for a vegan option)

For the pastry:

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry (or homemade if preferred)

  • 1 egg yolk, beaten (for brushing)

  • Optional: sesame or poppy seeds for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the filling

  • Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté onions, garlic, carrot, and celery for 5–6 minutes until soft.

  • Add lentils, tomato purée, soy sauce, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Mix in a beaten egg to help bind the filling.

Step 2: Preheat and prepare pastry

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / 400°F.

  • Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into two long strips.

Step 3: Assemble the rolls

  • Spoon the lentil mixture along one side of each pastry strip.

  • Fold over the pastry and press edges to seal.

  • Use a fork to crimp the edges and slice each log into mini rolls (about 2-inch pieces).

Step 4: Bake until golden

  • Place rolls on a lined baking tray. Brush tops with beaten egg yolk.

  • Sprinkle with seeds if using.

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Step 5: Cool and serve

  • Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
