Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegan sausage (cheese-flavored)
- 2 pieces Large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Vegan hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into rings.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir to coat them in the oil.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the onions. Stir to combine and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized.
While the onions are cooking, preheat a grill pan or large skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegan cheese brats to the grill pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they're heated through and have nice grill marks.
Toast the vegan hot dog buns briefly on the grill or in the skillet until they are lightly browned.
To assemble, place a vegan cheese brat in each bun. Top with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions.
Optionally, add a drizzle of Dijon mustard and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for extra flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious vegan cheese brats with caramelized onions.
