How to Prepare Italian Sausage on Baguette [Vegan]

Vegan Italian Sausage
  1. First set up a steamer that can hold four large sausages. Bring the water to a boil. Set aside 4 square sheets of aluminum foil. This "dough" only takes a few minutes to prepare, so make sure the steamer is ready to go.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the beans. Add all the other ingredients to the beans in the order listed. I found it was easier to mix with my hands, like making meatloaf. Place one fourth of dough onto each of the foil squares and mold into approximately a 5 inch log. Wrap the dough in the foil by folding in the sides then rolling up the foil to make a cigar. The elasticity of the vital wheat gluten will help shape the sausage into a smooth log as it steams.
  3. Place wrapped sausages in the steamer and steam for 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Unwrap the chilled sausages and let come to room temperature. Saute in canola oil over medium-high heat until brown and crispy on all sides, the interior will remain moist. Drain on paper towels while assembling the Gutbuster.
Gutbuster
  1. Saute green bell pepper and onion in olive oil until soft. Add oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in tomato sauce to coat the vegetables, then keep warm. Meanwhile saute mushrooms in olive oil until golden, season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cut the baguette into slices about the same length as the sausages. Brush the baguette with olive oil and toast until golden brown. Place the hot sausage on the bread. Top with green pepper/onion mixture on one side, mushrooms and tomatoes on the other side. Secure the sandwich with picks. Top with vegan mozzarella and place under the broiler until the cheese starts to melt. Garnish with fresh basil.

  1. I strongly recommend SPYTECHENTERPRISE@GMAIL.COM , last week he helped me spy on my husband when he was cheating of me, he served as a personal investigator to me by helping me spy on my husband\’s phone activities like facebook, email, whatsapp, calls, skype and others. am sure someone out there is looking for how to solve his relationship problems, contact him (SPYTECHENTERPRISE@GMAIL.COM ) or call +1 315 355 0337 tell him from Linda

  2. I made this recipe last night. Substitutions included using Better Than Bouillon No-Beef mixed in water for mushroom broth, Bragg\’s Aminos for soy sauce, half the red pepper flakes called for in recipe and subbed dried spices for the fresh ones (would have used fresh, but didn\’t have them on hand). Also made six logs, not four. These sausages were excellent! They reminded my husband of hoagies you might get at a county fair. Will make them many more times, I\’m sure.
