Okay, I'm going to be honest and tell you that store bought vegan and vegetarian 'meat' terrifies me. I visited the supermarket last week and decided to check out the vegetarian section only to find products filled with additives, preservatives, processed wheat, refined sugar, vegetable oils and soy....yucko. We include meat in our diet but also enjoy having some plant based meals. We also have a couple of friends and family members who are vegetarians so it's always handy to have some vegetarian options when having a barbeque. I make these sausages in the thermomix which is super easy but they can also be made with a food processor. Enjoy x
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 of a medium onion
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
1 clove of garlic crushed
1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon mild paprika
1 teaspoon oregano or Italian mixed herbs
1/4 teaspoon mixed spice
1 tin of white cannelloni beans
1/2 tablespoon of veggie stock paste ( 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast could be added instead of this)
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon of coconut amino's or tamari sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Heat olive oil in a fry pan, add chopped onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook until soft. Turn off heat and add spices and herbs so that they become fragrant. Rinse Cannelloni beans well and place in the food processor or thermomix. Blend until they become a smooth paste. Add all of the other ingredients and blend until combined. Tear off 4 strips of aluminum foil . Divide the mixture into 4 and roll into sausage shapes. Place one sausage on each piece of foil and wrap them up. Place the sausages on a steamer or on the thermomix varoma and steam for 20-25 minutes. The sausages can either be fried up straight away or stored in the fridge to cook later. To fry sausages, heat a frypan with oil or butter and cook until golden.
