Christmas party food steps up a gear with these meat-free but not flavour-free crowd-pleasers
Though a sausage roll is certainly not just for Christmas, is it really a Christmas party without them? Frankly, I’m not sure it is, unless you’re vegetarian, in which case you’re often expected to celebrate with fridge-cold hummus or fight over a brie and cranberry tartlet instead. These particular sausage rolls, however, are a true crowd-pleaser: meat-free, but not flavour-free. As an enthusiastic consumer of the classic variety, I can hand on heart assure you that they more than live up to expectations.
All traditional sausage rolls, whether they’re billed as Christmas pudding or “blistering hot”, have meat as their base. Vegetarian and vegan sausage rolls have no such constraints, which means they come in almost as many versions as there are recipes. But which best fills that pig-shaped space?
