Veggie Rolls
Veggie rolls are crispy puff pastry parcels filled with a savoury mixture of onions, walnuts, feta, oat flakes and fresh herbs, sealed with egg and finished with sesame seeds. The Thermomix TM7 chops the onions, herbs and walnuts and mixes the filling evenly in seconds, making this vegetarian snack or starter quick to prepare.
About this recipe
Veggie rolls with the Thermomix TM7 are a vegetarian favourite that turns ready-rolled puff pastry into golden, sesame-topped parcels bursting with flavour. Searching for an easy veggie snack recipe or a quick vegetarian party bite for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This one delivers. The filling brings together sweet chopped onions, toasted walnuts for crunch, salty feta, nutty oat flakes and a generous handful of fresh mixed herbs, all bound with egg and a splash of soy sauce for umami depth. The TM7 does the heavy lifting: onions, herbs and walnuts are chopped in seconds without tears, breadcrumbs and oat flakes blend evenly into the mixture, and the egg is whisked smoothly for sealing and glazing. Serve these rolls warm at a drinks party, pack them in a lunchbox, or offer them as a light starter — crisp outside, savoury and aromatic inside.
Preparation tips
- For extra flavour, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before sprinkling them over the rolls; this releases their nutty aroma and gives the puff pastry a deeper golden finish.
- Brush the edges of the ready-rolled pastry thoroughly with the whisked egg before folding, so the rolls stay sealed during baking and none of the feta and walnut filling escapes.
- The feta and walnut filling can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge; the chopped herbs actually develop more flavour, making assembly of the rolls even quicker.
Recipe variations
- For a lactose-free version, replace the feta cheese with a lactose-free white cheese or firm tofu crumbled with an extra pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon for a similar tangy bite.
- A festive winter variation swaps the fresh mixed herbs for parsley and thyme and adds a handful of dried cranberries to the onion and walnut filling, giving the veggie rolls a sweet-savoury Christmas flavour.
