Vegan sausages - 12 to 15 small sausages:

Step 1 ingredients:

• 100g walnuts

Step 2 ingredients:

• 1 red onion
• 250g closed cup white mushrooms
• 5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
• 1 tbsp miso passte

Step 3 ingredients:

• 75g breadcrumbs (normal or gluten-free)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
• 1 tsp garlic granules
• 1 tsp sage
• 1 tsp celery salt
• Pepper to taste

Vegan potato mash ingredients:

• 1kg potatoes
• 3/4 cups plant-based milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 3-4 tbsp olive oil
• 3/4 - 1 cup of soy milk
   

Vegan gravy ingredients:

• 4-5 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 4 tsp soy sauce (unsweetened)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Black pepper to taste

METHOD:

Vegan potato mash method:

Peel 1kg potatoes and cook.

Mash together with all other potato mash ingredients until it becomes nicely smooth.

Vegan sausages method:

Step 1:

Add 100g of walnuts into a food processor until you get a coarse flour. Transfer to a large bowl and clean the food processor.

Step 2:

Then chop up 1 red onion and 250g closed cup white mushrooms. Sauté the onion in oil until softened and then add the mushrooms and cook both until the liquid has evaporated and it becomes a sticky mass. Add both to the food processor together with 5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil and 1 tbsp miso paste. Process until it becomes smooth. Add it to the bowl with the walnut flour.

Step 3:

Add all other ingredients from step 3 into the bowl as well and mix together until you get a sticky dough-like mix. Form balls with your hands and then roll them out on a wooden board to create small sausage shapes. I didn't count the exact amount of sausages this dough will make but I reckon it was around 12 - 15. Don't make the sausages too big as they might fall apart.

Add some oil to a pan or griddle pan and fry them on high heat until they are nice and crispy on all sides.

Vegan gravy method:

Heat up 4-5 tbsp olive oil in a pan and then add 1/2 very finely chopped onion. Sauté until the onion has softened. Then add 1/4 cup of flour and brown slightly. Add the rest of the ingredients and heat up until you reach the desired consistency.

Serve:

Plate the mash first, then add the sausages and pour the gravy on top. Garnish with some chives. Enjoy!
