There's no better comfort food than a sausage roll to keep you fuller for longer. This recipe comes from The Happy Pear. The easy 'sausage' roll recipe is featured in a new book called The Happy Pear 20: Learnings and Recipes from the First 20 years by David and Stephen Flynn .
According to the book, "Steve’s kids adore these and don’t even realise they’re eating lentils – pastry is a great way to disguise them! "These are so good – sweet, earthy, crispy and chewy. They make a perfect healthier snack." The recipe makes four large rolls, perfect for sharing with the family.
