SAUSAGES SHAPE UP

FULL OF BEANS

6 Roasted Red Pepper Sausages,

£2.50/280g, Asda

vegetarian

WHAT YOU GET Sweet, smoky bangers

containing sweet potato, roasted red pepper,

green lentils and black turtle beans. Mature

cheddar gives them an extra hit of flavour – we

think these would work best as a veggie option

at your summer barbecues.

THE HFG VERDICT If you fancy a veggie

sausage and aren’t looking for a meat substitute,

you’ll love these. We liked seeing the beans

and pepper pieces when we bit into them.

SCORE: 7/

GO GREEN

Heck 6 Vegan Breakfast, £2.50/255g,

Sainsbury’s

gluten free vegan

WHAT YOU GET Six very green breakfast-

style sausages made with mushrooms, carrot

and roast tomatoes, flavoured with parsley,

sage and black pepper. Good with smashed

avocado and a slice of wholemeal toast.

THE HFG VERDICT We liked the novelty of

the colour, while the fibre content won them

points for nutrition. However, they were among

the saltiest sausages we tried, and we felt the

flavour could be more exciting.

SCORE: 6/

SPANISH-STYLE

Love Your Veg! 8 Chorizo Style Shroomdogs,

£2.50/280g, Sainsbury’s

vegan

WHAT YOU GET Chorizo-style sausages

containing mushrooms, pea flour, vegetable

suet and onions, flavoured with paprika. We’d

recommend serving them with sweet potato

wedges and a tahini dressing.

THE HFG VERDICT The smokiness of the

paprika seasoning in these ‘dogs’ really does

give a similar flavour profile to chorizo,

meaning you really won’t miss the meat

if you’re enjoying a meat-free day.
