Being vegan is not as hard as it sounds. I used to be a big meat eater once upon a time but now there are so many substitutions for meat that I do not miss meat at all. I am going to share my recipe today for making spicy vegan sausages.
Ingredients
1/2 cup TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 block smoked tofu
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon flax seeds
5 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon basil chopped
1 teaspoon corriander chopped
2 crushed chopped chilli peppers
1 tablespoon tomato puree
pinch black pepper
pinch Himalayan salt
pinch paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teapoon agave syrup
1/4 teaspoon black strap molasses
Method of cooking
1-Add the boiling water to the TVP in a small bowl and leave for 5 minutes until soft and thicker.
2- Using a food processor add the TVP mixture, tofu, wheat flour, yeast, flax seeds, garlic, basil, chilli peppers, tomato puree, salt and pepper and paprika. Mix until a thick doughy consistency.
3- In a small cup add the cold water, liquid smoke, agave and black strap molasses and mix well.
4- Add the cup of liquid to the mixture in the food processor and process for a further minute.
5- Place a small frying pan on a burner and add the oil and turn up the heat.
6- Place a spoonful of mixture 3 at a time and using a spatula as you are cooking roll and mold into sausages.

This recipe goes well with sweet potato mash or fries with the greens of your choice and a dollop of English mustard.
