Sally in Sydney's Note:

These are delicious and nutritious! My kids had no idea they contained no meat!

• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 32

Yield: 32.0 rolls

• 1 onion
• 1 cup pecan nuts
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 2 cups low fat cottage cheese
• 1 grated carrot
• 1 cup rolled oat
• 4 -5 sheets ready made puff pastry

Directions:

1. In food processor, finely chop onion and pecans. Add eggs,sauce,breadcrumbs, carrot and cottage cheese. Process.
2. Place mixture in a large bowl and add oats.
3. Cut each sheet of pastry in half. Brush all edges with milk. Put mixture in a sausage shape lengthways down each half sheet of pastry. Roll up into long sausage shapes. Mark each sausage into four with flat side of a knife. Don't cut through as filling doesn't set til cooked. Brush tops with milk. Cook in a moderately hot oven til brown and crispy. Serve with ketchup.
4. They can be frozen and reheated individually as needed. Great for those nights you want to feed the kids quickly! Makes between 32 and 40 rolls depending on whether you add carrot or more vegetables.

Need some added garlic, spices and herbs to taste, but otherwise a delicious and easy recipe.

I have a new favorite recipe! This is soooooo good! With a food processor it goes together fast and the taste is outstanding. A star in its own right without having to try to apologize for not being meat. I don't know if I did it right, but I cut the puff pastry sheets in half the long way (made four) and basically folded them in half over the filling and pinched them closed. I served them on a tray and cut them to size at the table. They baked up perfectly and were a huge hit with everyone!

Tasty! I made my own puff pastry using Quick and Easy Puff Pastry or Bladerdeeg #31504, which turned out a little dry and not cripsy enough for my tastes. Granted, this chronic over-baker didn't have a box to tell her how long to bake! Next time I do plan to make in bulk! Maybe for the holidays...with a touch of herbs too.
