Vegetable Sausages
Ingredients:
2 cups mixed chopped vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, carrots, etc),
Few spinach leaves; washed and chopped, (You can use frozen spinach too),
1 onion; diced,
1/4 cup bread crumbs,
1/4 cup or as required cornflour,
5-6 cloves of garlic; minced,
Few sprigs of coriander; chopped,
1/2 tsp dry rosemary leaves,
Salt and white pepper to taste,
Olive oil for frying.
Other-
Sausage casing.
Method:
Heat olive oil in a skillet and add onion. Saute till it becomes soft. Then add all the other vegetables, all seasonings, cover and cook them on low-medium flame for around 10 minutes. When done remove from flame, let them cool down. Then mash them or grind them in a grinder. Add bread crumbs and corn flour and grind again to form a soft dough. Add more crumbs or cornflour if required. Remove and stuff into the sausage casing. If you do not have a casing, shape the dough into two sausages with your palms. Use a cling film (plastic wrap) if you want. Then cover these sausages with the wrap. Heat water in a deep pan and poach these sausages in this water for 5-7 minutes. Drain and uncover them. Now grill or fry these sausages at the time of serving. Since the sausages are already cooked, you do not need to cook them/ grill them for a longer time. Heat them to get the crispiness.
TIPS:
1. Serve these sausages as snacks.
2. Use these sausages in sandwiches or rolls for breakfast or lunch box for kids.
3. These sausages are healthy and could be grilled and eaten to avoid excess calories by frying.
