Just wondering if I can substitute the apples for applesauce and how much would I use?

How would I make this gluten free? Very new at eating better. This dish sounds like it is going to be soooo good!

I cannot have wheat or yeast as they make me terribly I’ll. Gf works best and no eggs, grapefruit at any time either as they set things off. Seitan would be helpful but I cannot have this wheat, do you know if there is another type of ancient grain gf of course, that would work in roughly the same manner?
I love looking at these recipes, I find bread so impossible or not edible that rotis, wraps are very welcome! Chickpea mini omelettes are fabulous and can act as mini pizzas or tiers of vegetable in between as a stack, with a sauce over that becomes a lovely meal with a salad or something. Spectacular offering for guests!

Emma:

I’m so sorry for missing your comment. Thank you for the feedback.

I’m not familiar with the gimme lean taste profile, sorry.

My best advice is not to try a whole batch when experimenting. Make the ‘base mixture’ without the spices, then take one serving and try different combinations of spices and fry them individually until you have the taste you like. I know that may seem wasteful and risky, but recipe testing can and usually is a very complex ordeal that takes time, and yes, unfortunately, expense.

I’d recommend for single serving experimenting combinations of sage, marjoram, fennel, clove, very very very small amounts of mace, a vegan brown sugar or molasses… just a small pinch for a single patty, mix well, then fry… I know you’ll find a taste that you love.

Thank you for taking time to comment, and, again, sorry for not responding sooner

Best wishes,
Scott

These were absolutely phenomenal. The only changes I made were to use applesauce instead of apple and to omit the onion (I don’t like chunks!), and replaced the tomato sauce with 1/4 c tomato paste and the Mrs. Dash with crushed red pepper. Absolutely fantastic, and even better cold the next day.

Any suggestions on how to modify the spice blend to make a “Gimme Lean” flavor? As in, specific amounts? I hate to blow through huge batches of sub-par sausages experimenting on my own with amounts.

Yuk. Not a keeper for me. Too overwhelming with smoked paprika. Texture was way off. Again, that is “for me”. I simply don’t think you can make “fake meat” products and get anywhere close to whatever it is you’re trying to replace.

charlottethedog, hi and thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the flavor. Agreed that some may enjoy the apples and onions fully cooked. I tried pre-cooking them during testing… I prefer the slightly less sweet and slight crunch when they’re a bit undercooked. I’m so glad you enjoyed them.

I tried this recipe this evening. The concept is fabulous. Mixed reviews on the outcome. The apples and onion didn’t really cook after 30 minutes. If I try it again I’ll pre-cook both and add them to the mix. Otherwise, the flavors are great! Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure, thank you for your interest, Mitzi; I hope you enjoy them. Since Ruth mentioned it, I’ve made them with the quinoa, and I believe I like them better!
