Hi everyone!

Been really excited to be able to get to actually have a go at making homemade sausages!

These have been a glorious protein delight of all sorts...

The end of a bag of TVP, a big handful of tofu sheets that I'd broken, yellow split peas and cannellini beans pureed, a load of mushrooms, and then gluten flour to stick it all together.

TVP tofu and mushrooms were soaked in what is mainly a soy sauce mixture that's designed to do umami.

And then I bought some commercial flavouring that was going cheap where I got the casings from, so bit of added rusk and some spices!

I had an amazingly fun time making these and I don't know everyone's going on about about it being difficult and messy - it was really easy!

Cooking went okay ish - they did split so it's definitely too wet but the flavouring was excellent and they ended up being a bit like nduja,all delicious and spreadable.

I accidentally bought 10 sticks of casings (apparently it was 2x5 not 2) so I'm really looking forward to playing around with the recipe
