A plant-based homemade sausage made with almonds and cashews, seasoned with a touch of garlic — perfect on bread, in tortillas, or enjoyed on its own.

Yield: about 700 ml (3 small glasses, ~14 slices each) | Prep: ~15 min | Cool: ~10 min in ice water or overnight in fridge | Total: 25–30 min

Ingredients

Base

• 100 g (3.5 oz) almonds
• 100 g (3.5 oz) cashew nuts
• 6 g (0.2 oz) garlic cloves
• 5 dl (2 cups) water
• 2 tsp salt
• 3 tsp agar agar

Instructions

1. Add the almonds to a small pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Drain, rinse with cold water, and peel.
2. Blend the peeled almonds, cashews, garlic, salt, agar agar, and water until completely smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into a saucepan.
4. Bring it to a boil while stirring continuously. Cook until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly, using a lid to protect from splashes.
5. Pour the hot mixture into 2 dl (¾ cup) drinking glasses or similar containers.
6. Allow it to cool and fully set before removing.
7. Once set, insert a thin knife at the edge of the glass to release the sausage.
8. Slice and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For square slices, pour the mixture into a square container and cut after it has set.
• To cool quickly, place the glasses in very cold water for 5 minutes, replace with fresh cold water, and chill for another 5 minutes until the glasses feel cold and the sausage is firm. Remove using the instructions above.
