Ppk's Simple Italian Sausages- Vegan/Vegetarian
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 13
- Yields:
-
8 Sausages
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup cooked white beans, rinsed and drained (great northern or navy)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1⁄4 cups vital wheat gluten
- 1⁄4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 dashes fresh black pepper
directions
- Get your tinfoil squares ready.
- In a large bowl, mash the beans until no whole ones are left.
- Throw all the other ingredients together in the order listed and mix with a fork (I find it easier to use my hands).
- Get your steaming apparatus ready.
- Divide dough into 8 even parts and form into little logs (about the size of a large hot dog.).
- Tightly wrap the dough in tin foil, like a tootsie roll, twisting the ends. (I didn't wrap mine tight enough last time and they came out strangely shaped but they still cooked through and tasted great.).
- Place wrapped sausages in steamer (I use one of those cheap steamer baskets you can buy at the grocery store) and steam for 40 minutes.
- Unwrap and enjoy or refrigerate for later (they also freeze well).

<p>Busy stay-at-home mom to (soon to be) 4 kids 4 years old and under. Finding a recipe that everyone loves is like winning the lottery! It doesn't happen all that often but when it does, it just makes my day. My husband and son are the pickiest eaters on planet earth. Thankfully my girls inherited my sense of taste so I can retain most of my sanity. :)</p>
