Homemade Slausage

Based on the amazing and easy recipe on Every Day Dish TV. Watch the video, she's rad.

The original recipe makes 8, but we wanted to make several different flavors (all at the same time), so our recipe is for 12 (4 of each type).

Alsatian X-mas Style

1 cup + 2 tbsp vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/8 cup chickpea flour
1 tbsp Osem vegetable soup mix
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp coarsely ground pepper
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1 and 1/8 cups cool water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce

1. In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients
and garlic. Whisk together the water, olive oil and soy sauce and using a fork, gently stir into the dry ingredients. Stir just until ingredients are mixed. If dough mixture is too dry, you can add another tablespoon of water or as needed.

2. Scoop 1/2 cup dough mixture at a time and shape into logs. Place logs on piece of aluminum foil and roll up, twisting ends. Place sausages in steamer and steam for 30 minutes. (We don't own a steamer, so we just used a large pan with a domed lid and set the sausages inside a loaf pan.)

Once sausages have cooled, remove from foil and refrigerate until ready to eat. (To store in the freezer, we wrapped each sausage individually in wax paper and then placed inside a Ziploc bag.)
