How to Prepare Sausage Rolls with Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion [Vegan]

Blend kidney beans, tomato puree, and soy sauce together in a food processor until smooth.
In a large bowl, add kidney bean mix, vegetable stock, nutritional yeast, spices, and herbs. Stir to combine then add vital wheat gluten. Stir well, then knead for 4-5 minutes to bring it together into a dough.
Heat up a pan of water to a gentle simmer and place a steamer over the top. Cut out squares of foil in pieces. Take 2 tablespoons pieces of dough and roll into rough sausage shapes. Place in square of foil and roll up tightly, twisting at the ends to seal. Steam sausages for 40 minutes, until they feel firm. Remove from the heat.
Prepare caramelized onion by adding olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Add in onions and cook for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Add in coconut sugar and balsamic and cook for another 10 minutes, until sticky and caramelized.
In a blender, add sausage and the baked sweet potato flesh. Blend briefly until it forms sausage meat.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out puff pastry to a large rectangle on a floured surface. Cut in half lengthways and add sausage meat along the middle of each strip. Add over a thin layer of caramelized onions. Brush one length with aquafaba or plant milk and fold over, using a fork to seal the edges.
Slice into pieces and brush with a little more aquafaba or plant milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden and puffed up.
