Vegan “Duck” Spring Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 large carrot sliced into thin batons 
- 50g beansprouts 
- 1 chopped spring onion 
- 20g garden peas 
- 15-18 sheets of filo pastry 
- 1 tsp sesame seeds 
- 3 tbsp Aquafaba, beaten 
- 2 packs of Plant Pioneers Peking No Duck Jackfruit (300g) 
- 40g cashew nuts, halved and toasted 
Preparation
- Lay a sheet of pastry on a chopping board. Put a dessert spoon of jackfruit on one side, followed by carrot batons, beansprouts and peas. 
- Before rolling the pastry, brush around the edges with aquafaba, to help the rolls stay intact when frying. 
- Roll up neatly by folding both sides over the filling. 
- Heat the pan over a high heat and fill to a quarter of its depth with rapeseed oil. Heat until a piece of pastry sizzles and turns golden in about 20 seconds. 
- Carefully lower the spring rolls (a couple at a time) into the oil and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes each, or until golden and crispy. 
- Remove with tongs and drain on kitchen paper. 
- Transfer the spring rolls onto a plate, sprinkle with spring onion, sesame seeds and toasted cashews before serving immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice and a carrot, lemongrass and sesame salad.
