Treat your ingredients with care...
- Vegan sausages — Choose high-quality plant-based sausages made from tofu, tempeh, or seitan for the best texture and flavor.
- Plant-based milk — Opt for unsweetened varieties such as almond, soy, or oat milk to avoid any unwanted sweetness in the mashed potatoes.
- Vegan butter — Look for a dairy-free butter substitute that is suitable for baking and cooking to ensure a creamy and rich mashed potato consistency.
- Balsamic vinegar — Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for a tangy and slightly sweet flavor in the caramelized onions.
- Maple syrup — Use pure maple syrup to add a touch of natural sweetness to the caramelized onions.
Tips & Tricks
- To add extra flavor to the mashed potatoes, consider mixing in roasted garlic or chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- For a twist, try using different flavors of plant-based sausages, such as apple sage or spicy chipotle.
- If you prefer a smoother texture for the caramelized onions, you can blend them in a food processor or blender before serving.
- Serve with a side of steamed green vegetables, such as broccoli or peas, to add color and nutritional value to the dish.
- Leftover mashed potatoes can be used to make potato pancakes or added to soups for extra creaminess.
Serving advice
Serve the Vegan Bangers and Mash hot, with the sausages placed on top of a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle the caramelized onion mixture over the sausages and potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, use a wide, shallow bowl or plate to showcase the sausages and mashed potatoes. Arrange the sausages diagonally across the potatoes, and spoon the caramelized onions over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added touch of freshness.
