How To Make Darn Good Vegan Sausages – Gluten Free & Oil Free

Yes it can be done! You can actually make healthy gluten, free, oil, free, vegan sausages. They just so happen to also be very low sodium and sugar free. It sounds too good to be true but trust me this works. I was inspired by the new Engine 2 Cookbook and their recipe for Epic Brats. I decided to try using the Breakfast Sausage Recipe that is already here on the blog. I am happy to report that it worked just like I was hoping it would. I am calling these Darn Good Vegan Sausages!
Servings: 10

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups rolled oats – gluten free
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds – I like the Bob’s Red Mill Golden Flax
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon rounded – sage
  • 1 Tablespoon rounded – Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds slightly crushed with a mortar and pestal
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Brown Rice Wrappers – purchased from Whole Foods Health Food Stores or the ethnic section of the grocery store

Method
 

  1. Put spices, nutritional yeast and ground flax in boiling water in a medium size sauce pan on the stove, stir, add oats and stir while cooking until it starts to come together and looks like a “hot mess.” This takes a couple of minutes because the oats need to cook. Remove from the heat. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using 1/3 cup of mixture at a time roll in your hands to form a log shape, place on parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Chill for 15-20 minutes in the fridge to help it set up.
  2. Once chilled remove from the fridge. Put warm not hot water in a large bowl. Dip one brown rice wrapper at a time in the water, let excess water drip off. Place damp wrapper on a cutting board. Take one of the sausage logs and place it towards one end of the wrapper, fold up the wrapper nearest you over the sausage mixture, fold in the sides and roll up.
  3. Place on a plate or parchment lined baking sheet being careful that they don’t touch as they will stick together. Repeat with all the sausage mixture. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Preheat a non stick skillet over medium heat, add sausages leaving enough room in the pan to roll them over. Cook for 5-7 minutes rolling the sausage over to be sure they brown on all sides. Remove and enjoy with your favorite condiments!
