Hey y'all! Welcome to Make It Dairy Free. I'm Larisha and today we are
going to be showing you how to make one of my favorite
summer grill recipes, sausage and pepper sandwiches. Vegan of course.

So I don't know about you, but growing up I swore I hated peppers. Cooked peppers, raw peppers, any type
of peppers, I didn't like peppers. But luckily your taste buds change every seven years because this
is now one of my favorite recipes and hopefully it will be yours too. It is perfect for lunch
dinner or your next cookout. Alright so the very first thing that you want to do is cut your onions
and your peppers. Now we use a variety of colors of peppers, one because I think it looks prettier,
but also because they all give a slightly different taste. So the green is a little
bit more bitter or the most bitter out of all of them. While the orange and the yellow are slightly
sweeter and the red is the sweetest out of all of them. But you can use any color that you want.

You guys are just going to love this recipe so much. You are going to love it but I only have
tears in my eyes because it happens every time i cut onions. Okay so we are going to put all of
our peppers and our onions into a large bowl. As far as the peppers go just slide them in, but as
far as the onions go, you actually want to take the rounds that you sliced and you break them apart as
much as possible into little round strips. Then you want to pour just a little bit of oil over top of
all of your onions and peppers. As well as some salt and some pepper and then we're just going
to toss that with a fork to combine the oil the salt and the pepper with your peppers and onions.

Now we're just going to take these outside and throw them on the grill along with our sausages.
Our audio isn't great outside so we are just going to voice that part over.
You are going to start by putting your sausages on one side of your grill and cook those according
to your package instructions. Most are 7 to 10 minutes or until 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
On the rest of your grill you are going to add your onions and peppers and spread them into as
even layer as possible. You want to cook these for about six to eight minutes,
turning about every two minutes or until they are soft and tender and have some char marks on them.

While that's cooking you want to make your sauce for your peppers and onions. Whisk together some
tomato paste, dijon mustard, and mushroom stock. Then add in salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and mix
together again. Inside a skillet, you are going to heat oil over medium heat. Then add in your garlic
and saute for a minute. Then add in the sauce mixture and stir together. You are going to move
all of your onions and peppers from the grill into the sauce and mix together then turn the heat off.

Now we're back inside and the only thing left to do is just to assemble these. We did toast
our buns um outside but we didn't show that so it is completely optional whether you want to do that
or not. The first thing that we are going to do to assemble these is we are going to put a little bit
of that pepper and onion mixture onto the bottom of our buns. Then we are just going to put each of
our sausages onto the buns. We are going to put a little bit of spicy mustard on these, but you
can use whatever toppings you want. If you want to do some relish or just some ketchup. Anything like
that, barbecue sauce, the toppings are completely up to you. And then top with more of the peppers

So can we make this top 8 allergen friendly? We are using Lightlife sausages in this video which are
soy and gluten free. So are the Beyond sausages if you wanted to swap for that if you can't find
Lightlife. um you just also want to make sure that your buns are gluten free or you can just
eat this without a bun. We highly recommend one of these little meat thermometers they are perfect
for vegan meat as well. You just stick it inside of the meat and if it is 165 degrees Fahrenheit
then your sausages are done. It is like $10 and it is one of the best investments that you can make.
We always get asked what these are every single time we do an Instagram story or anything
like that where they come up. These are copper grill mats and we absolutely love them because
it makes sure that not only does your stuff not fall through your grill but that it
doesn't get overly cooked really easily with like flare-ups from your grill or anything like that.
I believe they are under $15 for a pack of two or three and we will link those in the description
box below. We didn't show this in the video but if you have kids or honestly even just for us um we
highly recommend that you slice the sausages in half either lengthwise or cut them up into little
pieces and then put them on side of your bun. um it just makes it easier to eat and make sure that
it doesn't push down all the way through the bun because they are heavier than like a traditional
hot dog. And that's it that's how easy it is to make vegan sausage and peppers. Happy grilling!
