Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 0.75 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Vegan-friendly beer
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, fennel seeds, and ground black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, liquid smoke, vegetable broth, vegan-friendly beer, and olive oil.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while stirring continuously until the mixture forms a dough.
Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it's firm and elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a sausage.
Wrap each sausage tightly in a piece of aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure.
Place the wrapped sausages in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, cover, and steam for 30 minutes.
Allow the sausages to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping.
For added flavor, grill or sauté the sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently, until they are browned on all sides.
Serve warm in buns with your choice of toppings such as sauerkraut, onions, mustard, or relish.
