Ingredients

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup California Barlett Pears
  • 1/3 cup cooking onion roughly diced
  • 3-6 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp marmite yeast extract
  • 1 tbsp vegan bouillon paste or 1 cup of broth
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tsp dried fennel seed
  • 1 tsp dried rubbed thyme
  • 1 tsp chili flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients, and mix well to incorporate.
  2. In a blender, combine all the wet ingredients and blend until uniform.
  3. Combine both the wet and dry ingredients and mix until a wet dough forms. If you'd like the sausages to be more firm, knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes, otherwise let rest for 5-10 mins.
  4. Portion out the sausage dough to about 90 g (approx 3 oz) amounts (doesn't have to be exact, but consistent size ensures even cooking). Roughly shape into a log form and wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Steam sausages for about 45 minutes, and then remove from foil and brown before eating by either grilling or pan-searing. Serve with your favourite toppings (mine include kimchi mayo!)
