How to Make Vegan Sausage with Chickpeas at Home

I want to teach you a very simple recipe for making homemade vegetable sausage. Our Italian sausage recipe without meat and eggs is very healthy and delicious. The inside is very soft and tasty and the outside is a little crispy.

In addition to the fact that this sausage recipe does not contain any meat, it is gluten-free, dairy-free, low-fat and actually vegan, and if you wish, you can make it without nuts. Meatless sausages can be prepared using soy, tofu, corn or a mixture of cheese and bread, flour and other food ingredients; Therefore, vegetarians and vegans do not have to remove this meal from their list because of their chosen diet.

Vegetable sausage ingredients:

White beans, soaked and rinsed, ½ and 1 cup (270 grams) *

Oatmeal (gluten-free if necessary), 1 cup (90 grams)

Walnut kernels, 1/2 cup (60 grams) *

Medium onion (60 grams), chopped, 1 pc

Chopped garlic, 3 cloves

Chia seed mixture, 3 pieces (3 tablespoons of ground chia seeds + ¼ cup of water)

Tomato paste, 1 tablespoon

Soy sauce, ½ tablespoon

Onion powder, 2 teaspoons

Smoked spice, 2 teaspoons (or smoke essence)

Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon (combination of basil powder, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme)

Sea salt, ¾ tsp

Ground cumin, ½ tsp

Pepper, a fingertip

Black pepper, required amount

How to prepare vegetarian sausage:

In a small bowl, mix the ground chia seeds with ¼ cup of water and set the mixture aside. After 5 minutes, it will thicken.

In the meantime, rinse the cooked white beans and let them dry completely.

Grind the oats and walnuts in a food processor or blender (it should have some texture, it should not be too fine and powdery).

Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor or mixer and mix again.

Take some of the ingredients and shape them into a sausage shape with your hands (if it is too sticky, add some oat flour.)

Wrap the shaped sausages in greaseproof paper and put them in a wide plate in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.

Wrap each sausage rolled in parchment paper in foil and wrap the top and bottom in chocolate.

Then steam them for 35 minutes. See the photos step by step. (Don't throw away the foils and use them for the next time.)

You can serve immediately or fry in a pan or grill.

Preheat the pan, brush a small amount of oil on each sausage.

Fry it on all sides for 7 to 10 minutes.

Our vegetarian sausage is ready. You can serve it as a hot dog sandwich or a sausage grill. Don't forget mustard sauce or barbecue sauce. It makes it very tasty!

Do not forget

Beans: You can use canned beans that are already cooked or cook the beans until they are soft.

Walnuts: You can use any nuts or seeds like sunflower seeds.

Chia seed or flaxseed mix: (3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 1/4 cup of water) can also be good, but you'll probably need to add a little more oatmeal because chia seeds absorb more water.

Oats: You can use buckwheat groats instead of oats.

Add a few drops of liquid smoke or smoky spice to create a smoky flavor.

Store leftover sausages in a sealed container in the refrigerator (up to 6 days).

I hope you prepare this hearty vegetable sausage at home and enjoy eating a healthy and delicious fast food.
