Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links vegan sausages
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole grain vegan buns
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayo
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the red onion and bell pepper. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Add the vegan sausages and cook according to package instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes per side until browned and heated through.
While the sausages cook, toast the whole grain vegan buns lightly until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix vegan mayo and dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on the mayo-mustard-coated bun, followed by a few slices of tomato, caramelized onions and peppers, and some pickled jalapeños for extra flavor.
Place a cooked vegan sausage on top of the vegetables, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Repeat assembling for the remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your vegan classic sausage sandwiches with your choice of side!
