Hot Dog! Vegan-Friendly Italian Sausage

This vegan sausage recipe has a lot of ingredients, but don’t let that scare you. They’re all very easy to find and the complex flavor is worth it. The sausage can be mixed with chili and other traditional meat dishes, but my favorite variation is to turn it into a vegan hot dog.

If you’re a recently-converted vegetarian and miss the taste of pork, you might want to give this one a try. When I converted to my new diet, dishes like this helped me understand how easy it can be to infuse meat flavors into vegetarian meals.Your friends and family may enjoy this too!
