Step 11

Place the sweet potato, chickpeas, tomato puree, harissa, cumin, garlic and flax egg in a bowl. Mix with the back of a fork or a hand processor. You want it to be mainly smooth with a few lumps for texture.

Step 21

Line the two sausage roll pieces together and cut across the middle so you now have 4 pieces.

Then cut each piece into 3 so that you have 12 sausage rolls in total.

Melt the butter and brush each sausage roll and sprinkle on some of the poppy and sesame seeds. Cut a small slice in the top of each sausage roll.

Step 29

Place in the oven for 20 minutes until cooked and golden brown.

Step 31

Serve straight away or eat cold. You can also reheat them for about 15 minutes at 150C/300F.
