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?

[schlafsack]

A carrot?

[shanew]

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

[saucisson]

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

[Dazzajapan]

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.
