Directions
This vegetarian sausage recipe is healthy & low in fat – use them for Veggie Hotdogs, Breakfast Sausage, or Vegetarian Bangers & Mash. Dairy-free and can be made egg-free.
Roughly chop vegetables into ¼ inch pieces and set them aside on a plate.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Decrease heat to low, add the vegetables, and cook for 10 minutes.
Remove vegetables from heat and scrape the mixture into a food processor.
Add the egg whites and bread crumbs and purée until smooth.
Stuff the mixture into sausage casings or form 2 long links in plastic wrap.
Poach the links in gently simmering water for 7 minutes, drain, and let cool.
If you have used plastic wrap to form the sausages, remove it when links have cooled.
Cut the sausages into 6-inch lengths. To serve, grill the sausages or place under a preheated broiler.
Since the sausages are already cooked, we want only to reheat them and crisp their skins.
If you need to make the vegetarian sausages egg-free, substitute the egg white with the egg substitute of your choice.
