Sausage Recipes for the New Vegan

Image
  Giving up sausage can feel like a tough ask when you first go vegan. The savoury, spiced, satisfying chew of a sausage is something many of us grew up with and crave. The good news? Vegan sausages are surprisingly easy to make at home, and they can be just as hearty and flavourful as the real thing—without the meat. These three easy vegan sausage recipes each use a different plant-based protein: lentils, tofu, and vital wheat gluten. They're perfect for new vegans looking to recreate old favourites without sacrificing taste or texture. 1. Vegan Breakfast Sausage (Lentil-Based) Vegan Sausage Patties- Generated by Fire.fly AI These little patties are perfect for a weekend breakfast or a hearty brunch. They’re mildly sweet, spiced with sage, and made with nutritious lentils. Ingredients (makes 8 small patties): 1 cup cooked green or brown lentils ½ cup rolled oats 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed 1 tablespoon maple syrup 2 teaspoons soy sauce ½ teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon ground...

Simple Tofu Spread


 This tofu spread is very tasty and satisfying in that bulky protein way tofu imparts. It is creamy and substantial. Our son thinks it is vaguely reminiscent of *liverwurst*-- not as salty or as greasy or as troubling to think about though.

Ingredients:

14 oz. Extra Firm tofu, drained

1/2 cup fine chopped red onion 

1/4 cup Tamari or soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup chopped cilantro 

1/2 cup walnuts

2 teaspoons peanut butter

1. I made this spread in my small food processor, but you can also make it by hand. Start by either chopping the walnuts finely with a knife or in the food processor.

2. Combine all ingredients in the mixing bowl or the bowl of the food processor. Crumble up the tofu into small chunks.

3. If you using a bowl, you may want to also use a potato masher to get the process of a smooth spread started. In the food processor pulse and scrape down until a nice smooth sauce results.

4. If you are doing it by hand, you might actually need to get in there with your hands to squeeze and incorporate the ingredients together into a smooth mix.

5. Put in a container with a lid in the fridge.
