  1. Step 1

    • 90 g vegan red pesto
    • 90 g vegan Calabrese pesto
    • 90 g vegan green pesto
    • 4 tbsp ground almonds or almond flour
    • tomato paste (optional, for the red pesto)
    • fresh basil (optional, for the green pesto)

    Preheat the oven to 180°C fan and line a baking tray with parchment. Put each pesto into its own bowl, divide the ground almonds between them and stir. If desired, deepen the red pesto with tomato paste and the green pesto with finely blended basil.

    • 275 g fresh vegan puff pastry (not butter puff pastry)
    • salt and pepper (to taste)
    • 2 tbsp white sesame seeds

    Divide the puff pastry into three equal pieces. Spread a different pesto on each piece and season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle half the sesame seeds over the pastry, then roll each piece up from its short side.

  3. Step 3

    Ingredients for this step

    • 2 tbsp white sesame seeds

    Sprinkle the remaining sesame over the outside of the rolls. Cut each roll into 1 cm slices and arrange on the lined tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden, then cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
