Ingredients

6 vegetarian sausages

1 onion finely chopped

3 garlic cloves crushed

1 tbsp olive oil

3 roasted peppers from a jar, chopped

3 rosemary sprigs, finely chopped

1 tbsp harissa paste

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp mild curry powder

1 tbsp smoked paprika

plain flour for dusting

1 sheet rolled puff pastry

1 tbsp milk (plant-based, if you like)

1 tbsp black sesame seeds

Instructions

1 Chop the sausages into small pieces. Put in a bowl with the onion, garlic, oil, peppers, rosemary, harissa and spices. Season and mix well. Fry over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until the onion is soft. Put in a dish and set aside to cool.

2 Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. On a lightly floured work surface, cut the pastry into six rectangles.

3 Put a heaped spoonful of filling onto one side of the rectangles, leaving a 1-2cm border. Brush some milk over any exposed pastry. Fold into a square and press to seal. Crimp with a fork.

4 Arrange on a lined baking tray. Brush with more milk and sprinkle over the seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden.
