The tofu and seitan sausage closely resembles a traditional bratwurst. The gluten expands during cooking and firms up as it cools; the tofu prevents it from becoming dry and rubbery.

Directions

  1. Mix the water with the liquid ingredients, such as soy sauce. ≈ 4 min
  2. Mix the gluten-free flour with the spices separately, as the dough becomes difficult to mix once it has been formed. ≈ 4 min
  3. Crush the tofu with a fork and incorporate it dry into the flour mixture. Add any desired pieces of dried onion, if using. ≈ 4 min
  4. Add the liquids to the solids and mix with the gluten flour to form a dough. ≈ 10 min
  5. Roll the dough into sausage shapes and place them in the frying pan.
  6. If you want to grill them afterwards, poach them in water to help the gluten lose its rubbery texture.
  7. Heat a non-stick frying pan with oil and cook the patties, turning them and pressing them with two spatulas to give them a round shape.
  8. To help them maintain their shape, bake them for about 10 minutes at 180 °C in the oven before glazing.
