Vegan sausage

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Since veganism is a stricter diet than vegetarianism, no animal-derived ingredients are used in this recipe—only plant-based ones. A specific flavor to the vegan sausage is given by a blend of spices, which you can adjust to your taste. You can make patties from this "mince," or use it as a base for more complex dishes. Serve hot.
