Sorry for swearing! but the other half insists on depriving the poor animals of their food and enjoying them!

Appolgies over, can anyone think of something that will resemble a sausage when shoved in colagen cases and please the likes of linda mcarntey?

im not holding much hope but i said i'd try.

Cheers,
Shane.

From what material are collagen casings made?

regular collagen cases are made from stuff extraced from cow hide and vegetable protien but i've been told or a scotish company who do a fully vegan approved casing that im looking into

When experimenting with low fat sausages, I was pleasantly surprised (or worryingly surprised, depending on your viewpoint :)) how much Quorn mince I could dilute meat out with before it was noticeable. I'll get my notes out and check whether I produced a full veggie sausage in the experiment.

I've not made any but I would have thought that many veggie burger recipes could be adapted.

Some form of pulse/rice base with veg added, maybe chunks of cheese as well.

Spinach and feta with a rice base?

Chickpea and red pepper?

Couscous or Bulgar wheat with garlic and tomato?

Maybe add something like aubergine for moistness?

I guess that's the way I'd go - but there again I'd probably just plump for a traditional Glamorgan sausage, or maybe one with a breadcrumb coating rather than a casing.

Make a classic Glamorgan style sausage. I replace leek with sea beet sometimes and add other cheeses.
You do not need skins to make a sausage just the ability to roll

tofu

or tempeh would be your answer I think.My wife does a pretty nice tofu burger,but she cheats and mixes it with some chicken.
