Spicy Vegan Sausages

This recipe calls for extreme caution! If you are not a fan of spicy food, you can tone this recipe down and replace the Jalapeños in hot sauce for tomatoes or ketchup instead. Anyway, this recipe is spicy, since I love spicy food :D 
So you might want to use gloves in the last step! You have been warned :) 

The thai chili powder I use here is the very spicy chili powder you can find in thai stores or at the table in thai restaurants. I like to mix a few different varieties of chilies for that spicy, hot and smoky flavour.

Ingredients

1. 230 grams elephant beans
2. 210 grams of red jalapeños in hot sauce (a small can)
3. 2,5 dl vegetable stock (aka you make stock, according to the instructions on you package of preferred stock, add to hot water, dissolve and let cool down)
4. 3 tbsp onion powder
5. 2 tbsp chipotle powder
6. 1 tsp oregano
7. 1 cap liquid smoke
8. 4-5 dl wheat gluten flour
9. 1 dl nutritional yeast
10. 1 tsp soy sauce
11. 1 tsp thai cili powder
12. 1 tsp coriander
13. 1 tsp cayenne pepper
14. 12 strips of tinfoil
15. Plastic gloves, if needed (if you are sensitive)

Instructions

1. Mix beans, red jalapeños including the hot sauce and spices in a food processor until velvety smooth.
2. Add the vegetable stock and liquid smoke and puree until you have a smooth liquid.
3. Transfer the liquid into a large bowl.
4. Add 2,5 dl of the wheat gluten flour and blend until dissolved into the liquid.
5. Add an additional 1,5 dl of wheat gluten and work into a dough.
6. Add 1-2 tbsp and work into a dough.
7. The dough should be elastic and not to wet and not to dry. Add additional wheat gluten flour if you think you dough is to wet but add it one tablespoon at a time.
8. Knead with your hands (covered in gloves if necessary) until you have a dough that is just right. Elastic, firm and still a bit wet but not to wet to the touch.
9. Transfer the dough to a chopping board. Divide the dough into 12 equally sized parts.
10. Create sausage like shapes, roll into tinfoil, not to tight though. They need space when you steam them. Tie the ends together to close.
11. Place each sausage in tinfoil into a steamer pot and distribute evenly so that the steam can cook the sausages evenly.
12. Once you've made all 12 sausages, add the steamer pot to the stove and steam the sausages on medium heat, slowly for 40 minutes.
13. After 40 minutes remove the sausages fromt the steamer, let cool off before you remove the tinfoil.
14. Place in container and store in the fridge or freezer.

This is how the sausages look once wrapped in tinfoil and steamed.
