What it is

To cook, heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning them regularly to ensure even browning. Alternatively, they can be grilled for a similar amount of time until they are heated through and have a nice char. For baking, place them on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard meat sausages, these plant-based versions are made from different ingredients, primarily mushrooms and plant-based binders, resulting in a distinct flavor and texture. The caramelised onions add a sweetness that is not typically found in unseasoned meat sausages.
