This is my segment and is a part of a Thankgiving food collaboration a group of vegan youtubers are participating in. The colab was organized and created by Cobi (veggietorials) here on youtube. Check out her fantastic cooking videos, she does such a wide variety and specializes in Asian foods. Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/veggietorials Website: www.veggietorials.com I feel so honored to be included and to share one of my favorite, versatile recipes that omnis love just as much as vegans! Its all about the spices and the texture of the great northern beans that gives these sausages such a satisfying flavor without the animal cruelty! These sausages work great in pasta, soups, or just on their own with vegan mushroom gravy. This recipe is inspired by Isa Chandra's recipe from Post Punk Kitchen. I modified it and made it a bit more spicy and packed full of flavor, but her recipe introduced me to the methods of preparation for vegan sausages. Check out her original recipe here: http://www.theppk.com/2012/01/vegan_sausage/ *NOTE: I've heard you can sub cheese cloth for aluminum foil if that is a concern, but they don't firm up as well or taste as good according to others who've made them that way. Its up to you. You can reuse aluminum foil too if you want to conserve resources.
