Spice Mix
- Sausage Mix
Instructions
- Place the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine, set aside.
- If using flax meal, mix the meal and water and set aside to thicken OR beat the egg.
-
Sauté the onion, mushrooms and garlic in 2 tsp of the oil, over a medium heat until softened – about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mash the beans until they are broken up and about three quarters have been reduced to paste.
- Add the tomatoes, basil, yeast, rice flour and spice mix and stir well.
- Add the flax mixture OR beaten egg, the onion mixture, the Worcestershire sauce and the remaining 1 tsp of oil and mix until combined.
-
Lay out 6 pieces of aluminium foil, each 30cm square, and place ⅓ cup of the sausage mixture about 10cm from the bottom of each sheet.
- Form each portion into a log – the mixture will be very sticky, so use a spatula. Bring the bottom of the sheet over each log and then roll towards the top of the sheet. Twist the ends of each roll to seal.
- Place the foil logs into a steamer and steam, covered, for 20 minutes.
-
When done, put aside until cool enough to handle and then unwrap. Cook on an oiled barbecue hotplate or frying pan.
Notes
