Ingredients You Need for Smoky Black Bean Sausages [Vegan]
How to Prepare Smoky Black Bean Sausages [Vegan]
- Rinse and drain the black beans then add to a large bowl. Add the olive oil.
- With a fork or potato masher, mash the beans until fairly smooth.
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Add the water, soy sauce, and liquid smoke and using a wooden spoon stir to combine.
- Using your hands, begin to knead the dough, bringing together all the wheat gluten and bread crumbs.
- Tip the dough onto a clean work surface and knead for approximately 3-5 minutes to develop the gluten strands.
- Roll into a big ball and flatten slightly. Using a knife, cut off strips before rolling with your hands into sausage shapes.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- To cook, heat a small frying pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on a medium heat, cook for 1-3 minutes each side or until crispy and well browned.
- If you wish to, you can freeze the leftover sausages.




Hi Sarah
Thanks for the recipe, it looks wonderful. I avoid eating wheat/gluten, is there anything you can suggest to replace the wheat gluten in this recipe as I\’d love to try it?
Thanks

Hi Mira! I haven\’t experimented with making these gluten-free. The only thing I can immediately think of is to try using chickpea flour? You might need to roll them up in foil and chill them to help them keep their shape.
