Kale Pesto

  1. Combine the kale, nutritional yeast, almonds, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Keep the motor running while adding the oil in a thin stream. Blend until smooth and season to taste.

Sandwiches

  1. Lightly fry the Fry’s Traditional Sausage in a frying pan over medium heat until heated all the way through. Slice each sausage in half, lengthwise.
  2. To assemble, slice each roll open and spread the inside of each half with the kale pesto. Assemble the toppings on the base of each roll by starting with a slice of vegan cheese. Add 2 mushrooms, 2 slices of Fry’s Traditional Sausage and a few slices of tomato to each sandwich. Top with the other half of the bun.
  3. Cook the sandwiches over medium heat coals in a frying pan for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly until golden, crisp and lightly browned. Serve each sandwich with chilli oil for dipping or drizzling.
