Italian Sausages

 I looked at several seitan sausage recipes to get the idea for these. Most of the recipes just didn't have enough flavor to me. I came up with this recipe that we really enjoy. I've served this cooked with sliced onions and bell peppers as a sandwich and served with warmed kraut. Which is what I did here; I hope you'll take the time to make some of these and share how  you chose to serve them.

  • 2 tablespoons water combine with a vegan bouillon cube
  • 1/3 cup oatmeal, uncooked
  • 1 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 2 teaspoons flax meal
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce


Mix the bouillon cube and water. Set aside.

Place oatmeal in a spice grinder and grind to make oat flour.

Add the oat flour to a large bowl with all of the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.

Add the bouillon mixture, garlic and soy sauce to a blow and blend well. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until everything is incorporated. Start you steamer so the water is boiling.

This will make four sausages. Tear 4 sheets of aluminum foil and put about 1/2 cup of trhe sausage mixture onto it. Shape like a log.

Roll this up and twist the ends to close them.

Add your sausages to the steamer basket. Cover and steam for 40 minutes. Then remove from heat and allow to cool enough that you can remove the aluminum foil

Let them continue to cool (or add to the frig) This will make them firmer. 

I heated my sausage in a nonstick skillet to warm it up.

Then added warm kraut to the bowl. To serve I squirted yellow mustard all over it! 
Enjoy!
