Italian Herb Sausages

Mamma mia! These Italian herb sausages will transport you straight to the streets of Rome.

To whip up these bad boys, you’ll need vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and a killer blend of Italian herbs. Mix it all together, form into links, and steam ’em up.

Pro tip: Let these babies rest overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor infusion.

I once served these at a dinner party, and my non-vegan friend Marco (yes, he’s actually Italian) couldn’t believe they weren’t the real deal. Score one for plant power! 🇮🇹

Spicy Breakfast Sausage Patties

Rise and shine, sleepyhead! These spicy breakfast sausage patties are here to kick-start your day.

For this morning masterpiece, combine TVP (textured vegetable protein) with some oats, flax, and a spicy seasoning blend. Form into patties and pan-fry until golden brown.

Want to take it up a notch? Try adding a dash of maple syrup for that sweet-and-spicy combo.

These are my go-to for lazy Sunday brunches. Pair ’em with some tofu scramble and a stack of pancakes, and you’ve got yourself a breakfast of champions! 🥞

Smoky BBQ Sausages

Get ready to be the star of your next cookout with these smoky BBQ sausages!

The secret ingredient? Liquid smoke! Mix it with vital wheat gluten, beans, and your favorite BBQ sauce. Shape into links and steam before grilling to perfection.

Word to the wise: Make extra, because these babies disappear FAST.

Last summer, I brought these to a friend’s BBQ, and even the die-hard meat-eaters were fighting over the last one. Talk about a plant-based mic drop! 🎤

Chorizo Crumbles

Ay, caramba! These chorizo crumbles are about to spice up your life!

Start with a base of TVP or crumbled tofu, then add a fiery blend of paprika, chili powder, and garlic. Cook it up in a skillet until it’s nice and crispy.

Feel free to adjust the heat level to your liking. Some like it hot, some like it “call the fire department” hot. You do you, boo.

I love sprinkling these over nachos, stuffing them in tacos, or just eating them straight out of the pan like the classy chef I am. No judgment here! 🌶️

Apple Sage Sausages

Fall flavors, anyone? These apple sage sausages are like a cozy sweater for your taste buds.

Combine vital wheat gluten with grated apple, fresh sage, and a hint of maple syrup. Form into links and steam until firm.

For an extra autumnal touch, try frying these up with some caramelized onions. chef’s kiss

I make these every Thanksgiving, and they’ve become such a hit that my family actually prefers them to the turkey now. Who’s the black sheep of the family now, huh? 🍎

Bratwurst

Oktoberfest, here we come! These vegan bratwursts are so good, they’ll have you yodeling with joy.

The key to authentic brat flavor? Caraway seeds and a splash of beer in the dough! Mix with vital wheat gluten and your usual sausage spices, then steam and pan-fry.

Serve these bad boys on a crusty roll with sauerkraut and stone-ground mustard. Lederhosen optional, but highly recommended.

Fun fact: I once won a vegan cook-off with these bratwursts. The secret ingredient was love… and maybe a little too much beer in the chef. Oops! 🍺

Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Sausages

Feeling fancy? These sun-dried tomato and basil sausages are here to class up your dinner game.

Start with a base of vital wheat gluten and white beans, then fold in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil. Steam the links, then finish them off in a pan for a nice crust.

These sausages are begging to be sliced up and tossed with some pasta and vegan parm. Bellissimo!

I once served these at a wine tasting party, and let’s just say things got a little…saucy. Who knew vegan sausages could be such great conversation starters? 🍷

Maple Breakfast Links

Sweet dreams are made of these maple breakfast links, and who am I to disagree?

Mix vital wheat gluten with maple syrup, a touch of liquid smoke, and your favorite breakfast sausage seasonings. Form into small links and steam until firm.

Pro tip: These freeze beautifully, so make a big batch for easy weekday breakfasts.

I like to call these my “Monday Morning Motivators.” Nothing gets me out of bed faster than the promise of these sweet and savory delights! ☕

Garlic Herb Sausages

Vampires, beware! These garlic herb sausages are not for the faint of heart (or nose).

Roasted garlic is the star of the show here. Mix it with vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and a blend of your favorite herbs. Steam the links, then pan-fry for a crispy exterior.

Fair warning: You might want to reschedule that hot date after eating these. Unless, of course, your date is also a garlic fiend. In that case, garlic breath = true love.

These sausages are my secret weapon for converting garlic bread addicts to the vegan side. Resistance is futile! 🧄

Curry Spiced Sausages

Last but not least, let’s take a trip to Flavortown with these curry spiced sausages!

Blend curry powder, turmeric, and garam masala with vital wheat gluten and chickpeas for a protein-packed flavor bomb. Steam the links, then grill or pan-fry to perfection.

These sausages are crying out to be served with some mango chutney and coconut rice. Your taste buds will thank you.

I once made these for a potluck, and they were such a hit that I was crowned the “Curry Queen.” I may or may not have made myself a tinfoil crown to celebrate. Hey, when opportunity knocks… 👑
