Vegan Bratwurst with Onion Sauce
Germans love bratwursts. We have it in a bun with ketchup, on the grill during the summer, or with mashed potatoes. I want to create a dish using LikeMeat Like Bratwurst that not only looks German, but also tastes great and people have fun recreating it. The bratwursts are vegetarian. They are served with mashed potatoes, peas, and a delicious onion sauce. It’s a classic recipe that has been veganized!

Chef's Notes
Start by boiling the potatoes. Meanwhile, make the onion sauce and allow it to simmer down as the potatoes finish cooking. Once the mash and the sauce are done, blanch the peas and broccoli.
