Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. In a large bowl, roughly mash the beans then stir in the herbs and chilli sauce, and most of the cheese (save a handful).

  • step 2

    Open out the pastry on to a floured surface – you need a 30x40cm rectangle, so you may have to roll it out a bit further. Then cut into three strips, each 10x40cm.

  • step 3

    Roll the bean mixture into long sausages and line down the centre of each piece of pastry. Dampen one long edge then roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Cut each length into four to give a total of 12 rolls.

  • step 4

    Place join-side down on a nonstick baking sheet, brush with a little egg or milk and scatter over the reserved cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. The filling may ooze out a little, but if you leave them on the tray for 5 minutes while the cheese cools, any oozing will set, making the rolls easy to lift off. Eat warm, or leave to cool on a wire rack and serve later.

Easy and delicious! I used 2 packs of ready rolled pastry (both 320g) and 1.5x the filling with 2 cans of borlotti beans and one of kidney beans. I replaced the chilli sauce with 1tsp of chipottle paste, and used extra mature cheddar instead of the gruyere. I cut the pastry down the short side to…

There was more filling than i needed, and I'd made it a few hours earlier and put it in the fridge which probably made it easier to make up the rolls. They didn't split much during the cooking- perhaps because I was less generous with the filling.

Easy to make and very tasty. I added chipotle paste and chili flakes and it definitely did not lack in flavour. The only slight negative I would mention is that the filling almost all spilled out while baking, so they are definitely not lookers!

Hi. Would it be best to freeze before or after cooking? And how long to cook for from frozen? Thank you

Thanks for your question. We'd suggest taking them until the end of step 3, then freezing. Brush with egg/ milk and sprinkle with cheese before cooking as above, adding an extra 10 mins or until golden and piping hot throughout.
