Instructions
To make seitan base for sausages:
- Mix tofu, oil, soy sauce, beer and mustard in a blender until smooth.
- Combine the rest of ingredients in a bowl of a standing mixer. Pour in wet ingredients and start mixing with dough hook attached until you see some gluten strips.
- Transfer the dough onto your working surface and knead it aggressively for couple of minutes. Then let it rest a bit.
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll each piece to form a sausage.
- Wrap each sausage tightly with a foil and secure the ends.
- Steam seitan for 25 minutes.
- Let it cool completely before grilling.
To make braised cabbage:
- Heat an oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft and slightly golden.
- Add apricots, shredded cabbage, sugar and vinegar and stir. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 15 minutes. Stir the cabbage from time to time to prevent burning.
- Now add sauerkraut, a bit of salt and continue cooking covered for another 15 minutes. Again give it a stir from time to time.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve with vegan bratwurst.
Notes
Make sausages one day ahead and let them set overnight in a fridge.
