Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegetarian sausages
- 4 pieces Hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, sliced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 medium, chopped Tomato
- 1 medium, sliced Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Mustard
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and sliced red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the tomatoes start to break down.
Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet. Add salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, grill the vegetarian sausages on a separate pan or grill until they are fully heated and have a nice char, about 5 minutes.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly in the oven or on a grill for 2 minutes.
To assemble, place one vegetarian sausage in each bun.
Pour a generous amount of the cooked vegetable and tomato sauce over each sausage.
Top with mustard, ketchup, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with a side of potato chips or salad for a complete meal.
