sausages

Visible to anyone in the world

Next week I have a holiday, ya-hay.

For most people a weeks holiday isn't a biggy; for me it's an fraught exercise of juggling; a tick-tock of non-causality. Thursday I didn't expect to get the next week off, but I saw the chance. So I have a week off.

When I have any time off I like to mark the occasion by making a meal that I don't normally make. Tonight I decided upon sausages.

Now I'm a vegetarian Ceoliac, so I'm going to raise some hackles here. People who eat meat seem to feel that they have the copyright upon sausages. They have issues about non-carnivores eating them. And now I'm going to exclude wheat too!

Still here is my recipe.

  • Soak the TVP in boiling water and a wee bit of soy sauce
  • Drain: Add...
  • Lots of fresh herbs
  • Onions, or old chives
  • Salt, pepper
  • A small tsp of paprika
  • Garam flour until the mix seems to be coming together
  • (and this is the clever bit) gluten-free bicarbomate of soda
  • Leave for at least an hour
  • Roll into rolls and fry.

So I'm off to enjoy. I may be some time...

Textured veggie protein maybe?

Meat or otherwise, I don't like or eat sausages!

Shite.

It is textured vegetable protein. I'd made the assumption that there was no gluten.

I am going to die of an ignorence of what's in my food.

Being gluten-aware, I hadn't thought of TVP, but then again, no-one in my house is veggie and those who visit who are, aren't coeliac.

Sounds interesting Neil.  What did it taste like - if you're still with us smile.

Take care.

TVP is ok for me, I checked.

Sausages were nice. Could have done with a wee bit more taste perhaps. Next time I'll try mint and curry powder.
