I've been having fun with the eggplant steak. Ever since the Gordon Ramsay eggplant video I've been on a mission to make better vegan eggplant meat! So far we've made an eggplant burger, eggplant wellington and eggplant fish... and I even made eggplant bacon back in the day! Now lets make a sausage.. Italian style sausage out of eggplant.
This comes out juicy, spicy, and just like the Italian sausage you know, but 100% vegan.

Sage is a good authentic flavor for sausage making. Also, anise seed as an alternative or in combination with the fennel seed.

Yes Sage is delicious for sausages! .... but not to be a flavor component for ITALIAN style sausage.

Eggplant Italian Sausage Sausage Filling Ingredients: • 2 cups shredded eggplant • 2 ½ Tablespoons methyl cellulose • 3 Tablespoons mashed beet (or 1 tsp beetroot powder) • 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke • 3 Tablespoons water • 1 cup extra firm Tofu crumbled into BIG crumbles • 3 Tablespoons Red wine vinegar • Salt • Pepper • 1 tbsp Parsley • 1 tsp Garlic powder • 1 tsp Onion powder • 1 tsp Basil • 1 tsp Paprika • 1 tsp red pepper flakes • ¼ tsp Oregano • ¼ tsp thyme • 3 Tablespoons olive oil (Mark says 2 but it looks like 3) Sausage skin Ingredients: • Package of rice paper sheets • Dish of water • Potato starch for dusting 1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. It should be somewhat dry as eggplant will release water when cooked. If it doesn’t come together, add slightly more water. 2. One at a time, dip rice paper into dish of water, sprinkle potato starch on surface. 3. Lay out the filling, on the starched side of the rice paper. 4. Turn the rice paper so it covers each end of the sausage, then roll the sausage up. 5. Cover the sausages and wait 30 minutes 6. Cook in oiled pan as you would cook sausage.

Any replacement for methylcellulose? Can't seem to find it in any nearby stores, and googling seems to find glue making mixtures in home improvement stores only.. Would any other binding/thickening agents work?

[@SauceStache]

So you probably wont be able to find it locally. Its not something that is commonly stocked as a food item since its a food additive. You should be able to find a food grade online. Search for a high viscosity methycellulose. Unfortunately there really isnt a great replacement. If needed use an egg replacer as the binder.. you will simply need a LOT more! You can also use gluten flour! Maybe triple what I added. IT will be harder to work with, but should come out great!

[@wakeywakey2910]

Great recipe and great use for aubergine! I think I would have pre-steamed the sausages (as they had WG), left overnight, then rolled in the rice paper sheets, then cooked. I personally find that if you use wheat gluten it's better pre-cooked and left to mature, but I have also seen other recipes where no pre-cooking and it's turned out OK. This would also firm up the sausage overall? Many thanks again, great recipes!

[@carolynblakeney966]

That's what I was thinking, steam first and chill, then finish by frying. Also if they were further wrapped in parchment and/or foil they wouldn't absorb too much excess moisture while steaming.

he is not looking for small sausages ... 😉

[@Teamnosl33p]

Interesting 🧐

[@Lee-sn6fm]

I really liked some of your recipes/methods so far, but this one is a massive miss in my opinion! :( The taste was not very nice and the texture was just completely off. We made the sausages for dinner and luckily we has a back up because us 4 friends all refused to eat them.

[@behemoth5344]

"refused to eat them"? How old are your friends, 8?

[@Ohiochic123]

I couldn’t eat mine either! One bite and that was it! Felt like slimy mush that was very spicy. Just not for me! I’ll keep looking for something else.

After seeing all your wonderful eggplant recipes I would love your to come up with an eggplant meatloaf recipe. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

[@shastafog2516]

I would of liked to see you make NO PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH out of it. No tomato sauce and cashew cheese drizzled on yum!

[@Ohiochic123]

I made these yesterday and grilled today. I’m sorry, but NO! It was gummy mush! In past LC recipes, I’ve accidentally put in too much xanthan gum and it tasted like crap - slimy mush! That’s how this mouth feel was, and I followed directions to a “T”! Sorry - just doesn’t work for me. I’ll keep searching.

I've been trying to make a vegan andouille sausage that can be cut up and used in jambalaya or gumbo... Your TVP sausage with the alginate casing is the closest I've gotten (just replacing all the seasonings with cajun/andouille seasonings). But even with the casing, it still tends to crumble or fall apart when cut. The best upgrade I made was doubling the amount of methylcellulose, and that makes the texture ALMOST there. I'm wondering if you have any tips about how to make it even firmer, so that it will hold up to being cut into little sausage circles after being cooked? Thanks, love your videos!

More VWG, if gluten is not a problem for you. I would add a Tbsp of red wine or apple cider vinegar if adding more gluten. Cuts the cereal flavor.

This recipe fascinated me - texture was good. (Although I grated the eggplant and should have thrown out the skin) but flavor didn’t cut it for me. I think eggplant is tasty after sauté with garlic - so I think I might try that next time. Also found rice paper difficult to pan fry. Perhaps eggplant might make a nice egg roll if I used that wrapper instead

[@shfin8329]

Do you think that you under seasoned it?

Can you pleeeeeaaase make a video of the best plant-based American style hot-dog?! 👏😩 I’m talking Oscar Mayar / Nathans in taste.
