Plant-Based Sausages | NEWSTART Kitchen

Nicole Ramos joins the NEWSTART Kitchen to show you how to make mouthwatering plant-based sausages. Feel free to play around with the seasonings in this recipe.

Serve in buns as a sandwich, sliced into your favorite pasta sauce, with potatoes and bake them for your next dinner party!

And can you use soya beans as a substitute , legumes like soya are much easier to find here . Chickpeas are available in our country but I don't have access to then right now where I'm at .

Looks tasty ☺️☺️I'm sure this would really make you feel like you're not missing out on anything as a Vegetarian . I'm one too , I'm from Malawi ,Africa . It's a really small place and I've barely seen Bragg's Aminos in shops etc what would you substitute with ? and there some herbs you've put and I hardly heard or seen em here ... Is there another simpler simpler recipe 😂❤️

These plant-based substitutes have several problems: 1) why use fake meat, if the point is to get the patient off meat? 2) they're a processed food, and as a result, woefully deficient in nutrients; 3) the protein in plant sources has 1/2 the bioavailability as that of actual animal protein (e.g., beef) and 1/3 that of whole eggs. The body requires protein, and the protein in plants, alone, is insufficient -- not to mention contraindicated -- for humans. The science behind this truth is spot on. The *real* problem is the excessive carbohydrate intake by many vegetarians, not to mention woefully low fat consumption. The research is out there....don't be taken in by the deception, especially when someone has something to sell.
