I recently blogged my take on Glamorgan sausages using my vegan parmesan: <br /><br />http://www.maplespice.com/2014/09/vegan-parmesan-rosemary-shallot.html <br /><br />....but I will try with the feta as well. I can imagine the flavour and texture working beautifully there. Many thanks! ♥Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733503025531290452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-75927095565924942302015-03-12T18:22:59.018+00:002015-03-12T18:22:59.018+00:00Hi Eve!

They are welsh sausages usually made with caerphilly cheese, leeks and breadcrumbs, pan fried. Although caerphilly is a lot sharper than almond feta, if you slightly culture the almond feta overnight (while its in the cheesecloth), using a probiotic capsule, it gets a sharper flavour without adding more lemon. I think there is a recipe for the glamorgan sausages on bbc food, a hairy bikers one i think! I based mine on that (I used a thin chickpea and water batter instead of egg to coat the sausages in breadcrumbs). The hairy bikers use egg to bind the ingredients together as well, but i found that, as almond feta is softer than caerphilly, this was not needed! I hope you like my idea, Eve xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-8455331781494254042015-03-12T08:12:41.036+00:002015-03-12T08:12:41.036+00:00I'm making this today for a few people who are...I'm making this today for a few people who are curious about veganism. Thankyou so much for inventing it!! It is such a great recipe! I have made this quite a few times before, and it always gets eaten in about 5 seconds flat! Plenty of people don't realize that it is vegan, and have asked me what cheese is in it! :D <br />Eve x.

I'm new to being a vegan and have never been much of a cook but I've figured out I have to be more adventurous when I'm really missing something I used to love that wasn't vegan. It's not usually much of an issue since I've been semi-vegetarian for a long time, but sometimes the egg-cheese-dairy thing still stumps me. <br /><br />I made it the "fast" way, without cooking the almond feta (in part because I don't have or know exactly where to get cheese cloth--did I mention I don't cook much?). I used filo dough and it was the first time I've ever used filo dough--and I am very glad you mentioned to keep it covered with something damp because, eesh, no joke does it dry out fast! I definitely would have ended up with filo-flakes. I used frozen spinach (not as good as fresh, but always on hand in the freezer) and just tried to add enough to make my filling mixture look like your picture. I also quartered the recipe because I didn't need so much and didn't want to waste the ingredients if I totally made a mess of it, but I still ended up with two good sized servings. <br /><br />And for all of that--it was delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe, it was awesome, and if even a total novice in the kitchen could manage to get something not only "edible" but actually yummy, it HAS to be good. :)Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-83832701126848957332012-07-24T15:12:07.778+01:002012-07-24T15:12:07.778+01:00Hi!

Then I checked my recipe and I see that I said to do that in the write up to the recipe but failed to say it in the recipe itself!! D'oh! Sorry about that, if you didn't brush them with either melted margarine or oil that would be the reason.<br /><br />If you did, the only other thing I could think of is that all ovens vary wildly in temperature and perhaps they just needed to be cooked longer or at a higher temperature than mine were.<br /><br />At any rate, I will edit this post to make the brushing with margarine or oil step more clear :-) Apologies!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733503025531290452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-47672513969358834752012-07-24T06:02:51.283+01:002012-07-24T06:02:51.283+01:00These tasted great but I had some trouble getting ...These tasted great but I had some trouble getting my spring rolls crispy all around.
