Breakfast Sausages

It is possible to buy a variety of good quality ready-made vegan sausages and these certainly have their place. These homemade ones have two extra ingredients shop-bought ones don’t – individuality and love.

Serves: Makes 10 medium sausages
Time to prepare: 10 mins
Time to cook: hr 10 mins
Dietary requirements: Vegan

Ingredients

  • 400g/14oz can kidney beans, drained
  • 100g/10½oz mushrooms
  • 50g/1¾oz ground almonds
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 25g/1oz breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp fresh thyme (most fresh herbs will work)
  • Salt and pepper

Coating

  • 50g/1¾oz breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil to fry the sausages

Instructions

  1. Place the sausage ingredients into a food processor and blend. The mixture should be quite thick. If too soft, add additional breadcrumbs.
  2. Shape the mixture into sausage shapes and coat in the breadcrumbs.
  3. Gently fry the sausages in a non-stick pan for 10 minutes, carefully turning to get an even, crispy exterior.

Chef’s tip: These simple sausages are relatively soft in texture and not suitable for cooking on a BBQ. They can be prepared, shaped, then chilled before cooking. Other types of beans will work just as well. Kidney beans just add a little colour.
