Hi everyone!
Been really excited to be able to get to actually have a go at making homemade sausages!
These have been a glorious protein delight of all sorts…
The end of a bag of TVP, a big handful of tofu sheets that I’d broken, yellow split peas and cannellini beans pureed, a load of mushrooms, and then gluten flour to stick it all together.
TVP tofu and mushrooms were soaked in what is mainly a soy sauce mixture that’s designed to do umami.
And then I bought some commercial flavouring that was going cheap where I got the casings from, so bit of added rusk and some spices!
I had an amazingly fun time making these and I don’t know everyone’s going on about about it being difficult and messy - it was really easy!
Cooking went okay ish - they did split so it’s definitely too wet but the flavouring was excellent and they ended up being a bit like nduja,all delicious and spreadable.
I accidentally bought 10 sticks of casings (apparently it was 2x5 not 2) so I’m really looking forward to playing around with the recipe
Sounds awesome! I’ll take that as inspiration…
Wow! What a project!
Have you tried these casings before? Are they challenging to handle? I think it was @bulbasaur@lemmy.world who shared using rice paper, which I’ve used with success, but I wonder if it’s worth the effort. Looking forward to hearing more!
No, never! I spent a while googling online trying to work out what’s best as a vegan casing and then got annoyed reading about ludicrously complicated things like dipping tubes into rice flour gloop etc and just bought some from a butchers supplier place
