I am a pathetic excuse for a meat eater.. Unless it is a burger or chicken, chances are I will gravitate towards a Vegetarian option. I was perusing Tesco's Frozen Meat Free Range and the Glamorgan Sausages caught my eye. They are currently on a 2 for £3 offer - Bargain!
The 6 sausages are made with leeks, cauliflower and Welsh mature cheddar cheese. I cooked them at 180 degrees fan for about 25 minutes - Quite a bit longer than the suggested 16-18!
They were more of a breadcrumb-less Croquette than a sausage really! They were super soft and didn't hold their shape whatsoever - Thankfully this didn't effect the taste. Although I couldn't detect much of a cauliflower flavour, the leeks were pleasantly strong. This paired perfectly with all the cheesiness coming from the Welsh mature cheddar as well as the full fat soft cheese, producing a delicious creamy taste!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed these Glamorgan Sausages. If you can get passed the sloppy appearance and the fact they aren't sausages albeit Veggies ones, then these are a winner! I am keen to try more from Tesco's extensive Frozen Meat Free Range which includes everything from Ready Meals to Bacon Rashers! It's a 4 out of 5 from me!
Update
Turn the oven off and put the grill on!
I have just cooked my remaining 3 Veggie Sausages this way and they have turned out perfectly - Not a sloppy mess. The texture was 100 times better! I could actually taste the cauliflower which now had a nice bite to it rather than being just mush.
The interior was still smooth whilst having a crispy golden outside.. 15-18 minutes under the grill should do it! Now that they hold their shape, I'm bumping them up to a 4.5 out for 5!
I'm the exact same, apart from the odd bit of mince in a chilli or meatballs on a pizza, I prefer veggie food too! And cheese is always a winner. Think I may have to try these, they sound delicious
ReplyDeleteGlad I am not the only one! It is not that I don't like meat, it is just not something I would ever really opt for - My carnivorous brother can't get his head around it! lol :) Let me know what you think if you do give them a go!
DeleteI love these as well, agree with your comments a little sloppy but great flavour.
ReplyDeleteFood never looks like what is shown on the box, does it? lol. Glad you enjoyed them too! :)
DeleteFound them far too potatoeeee for my liking haha. Love the quorn ones or Linda McCartney red onion ones. Yum yum
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely more croquette than sausey! Lol. I love the quorn ones too and have some of the Linda McCartney ones waiting to be eaten in the freezer - I'm excited to give them a go.. I loves me some red onion! :)
