Vegetarian Sausages
These veggie sausages are simple to make and easy to customize. The ingredients you need are things you most likely have on hand.
This recipe makes approximately 15 sausages (depending on what size you make them).
- 1 finely chopped onion (You can chop it in the food processor.)
- 1 peeled and chopped carrot (You can also put the carrot in the food processor.)
- 1/2 cup Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese (If you like things cheesy, you can add more than 1/2 cup. I typically use less if I'm making them for my toddler.)
- 1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (You'll use half (3/4 cups) for the veggie mixture and the other half for breading the sausages.)
- 2 beaten eggs (You'll use one for the veggie mixture and the other for breading the sausages.)
- 1 tsp parsley
- olive oil (or oil of your choice) (For frying the sausages.)
- Finely chop the onion
I like to chop it in the food processor to make this step easier.
- Peel and chop the carrot.
You can also put the carrot in the food processor (keep it separate from the onion because you'll cook the onion for longer than the carrot). If I choose not to put it in the food processor, I like to julienne it and then cut the strips into smaller sections. This gives the sausages a little extra crunch.
- Cook the onion and carrot.
Add a drizzle of olive oil to a frying pan and cook the chopped onion until tender. Add the chopped carrot and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Mix the cheese (1/2 cup), half of the breadcrumbs (3/4 cup), 1 beaten egg, and parsley (1 tsp) in a bowl
- Add in veggie mixture and combine
Add the onion and carrot veggie mixture to the bowl and combine. (If you chose to add any additional ingredients, you may need to add more egg or breadcrumbs to make the ingredients stick together when forming the mixture into sausages).
- Form the mixture into sausages and bread them
Beat the second egg and place it into a bowl. Place the rest of the breadcrumbs into a separate bowl. Dip the sausages in the egg and then roll them in the breadcrumbs.
- Fry the sausages
