veggie dogs

With these veggie hot dogs, I’ve pureed the lentils and veggies so they have a finer and more ‘veggie dog’-like texture. The smoked paprika and garlic powder give them that classic hot dog aroma and taste, but they’re full of goodness from pulses and veggies. I’ve made them with plain flour, but gluten-free flour works well if required.

Lentil Carrot Veggie Hot Dogs Recipe

(200 grams) dried red lentils (rinsed)

(700 milliliters) vegetable stock

olive oil

onion (finely diced)

carrots (125 grams) (grated)

½ tsp smoked paprika

garlic powder

salt and pepper

(150 grams) plain (all purpose) flour

Cook the lentils in the stock for 10 minutes or until tender, then drain.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the onion and sautee for a few minutes until translucent but not browned. Add the grated carrot and sautee for 3-5 minutes until soft.

Add the cooked lentils, carrot mixture, spices, salt and pepper to a food processor and whiz until it’s thick and well combined.

Tip the mixture into a bowl and mix in 3 tablespoons of the flour. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until a thick and manageable consistency. You may not need all of the flour.

Roll into hot dog-like shapes, place on a plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium/low heat and add some of the hot dogs. Fry, gently turning often, until golden. Repeat in batches.

Serve in a hot dog bun.

This easy vegan hot dog recipe is my vegetarian alternative to real hot-dogs made of seitan that taste incredibly authentic, juicy meaty and better than store bought vegan frankfurters by far! Makes 16 regular wieners or 12 jumbo size. Perfect for potluck or bbq.

Best Vegan Hot Dogs

-400 gram package extra firm tofu

water

sesame oil

bbq sauce*

maple syrup

tablespoon vegetarian better than bouillon no chicken soup base

yellow mustard

liquid smoke

tamari or soy sauce

apple cider vinegar

nutritional yeast

paprika

onion

garlic

salt

coriander

celery salt

allspice

vital wheat gluten

red food colouring (optional for colour)

boiling water, from kettle

vegetarian better than bouillon no chicken soup base

To make

Drain tofu wrap in layers of paper bowl squeeze out extra moisture with your hands. Break into chunks and add to food processor with rest of ingredients EXCEPT GLUTEN and process until smooth like a puree

Now add vital wheat gluten evenly over the top and mix until just combined, it's ok if you see a bit of flour on top.

Turn seitan dough onto counter and knead 20-25 times and form into a loaf. Slice loaf into 4 pieces. Portion each piece into 3-4 sections. Tear off 12-16 pieces of tin foil approximately 6 inches wide. Roll each piece of seitan into a sausage shape roughly the same length as s hot dog bun. Wrap each wiener in the tin foil by rolling up tootsie roll style and twisting the ends.

To cook

Stack them in a steamer insert of a steamer pot. Trim the twisted ends slightly if needed to fit. Fill the base of the pot with water making sure it doesn't touch the steamer insert. Cover and steam for 30 minutes (I steam on medium heat) While they are cooking mix marinade ingredients in bowl 

When cool enough to handle unwrap them (at this point they are cooked and can be eaten) Add frankfurters to a large zip lock freezer bag with the marinade.

Squeeze out excess air, seal bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavour and texture.

To serve

Remove from marinade. Pan fry or grill with little oil or microwave them! Enjoy in a hot dog bun with your favourite toppings. Makes 12 jumbo dogs or 16 regular size.

Will keep covered in fridge with or without marinade for up to 5 days and freeze well also with or without the marinade. For step by step photos, Tips, FAQ, and serving suggestions see above post

Thank you for this great recipe! So good!

I love this recipe but MUST be GF, SO.... I'm going to try it w a mixture of Oat Flour, Potato Starch &amp; Psyllium Husk &amp; see what kind of results I get. I'll let ya know...

I just made them and they are marinating right now.  Just watched the YouTube video again and noticed that in the video you added mustard to the marinade but it isn't in the written recipe.  How much did you use?

Can't wait to try them.  They smelled amazing after steaming!

Verna,
These are the best dang hot dogs I have ever made! I have been meatless for more than 25 years, and nothing compares to this recipe...I mean nothing! They are flavorful and meaty without excess chew, and all the ingredients are in my kitchen. I have made these several times (several might be an understatement), and never get tired of them! One question, I have recently been counting macros, and I do not see a nutrition section. It's probably right in front of my face, but I am failing to find one. Please let me know the nutrition or where to find it. Thank you for this recipe by the way!

For Veggie Dogs

It's easier than you can imagine to make your own vegan hot dogs! And they're so much healthier when you control the ingredients.

Homemade Veggie Dogs

onion (coarsely chopped)

pinto beans (well-drained)

coconut aminos or soy sauce

tomato paste

smoked paprika

mustard

white or black pepper

celery seed

mace

oatmeal (rolled

flax seeds

Put the onion and garlic into a food processor and pulse to chop finely. Heat a small non-stick skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion mixture back to food processor.

Add the pinto beans, water, coconut aminos or soy sauce, tomato paste, and all seasonings to the food processor. Blend until it’s a thin paste.

Combine remaining ingredients (gluten, oatmeal, yeast, and flax) in a large mixing bowl. Add the contents of the food processor and stir until combined. If it seems that there’s not enough moisture, add another tablespoon or two of water. Knead in the bowl for about two minutes until a heavy gluten “dough” is formed.

Cut off 8 pieces of aluminum foil or parchment paper, each about 6 inches long. Divide the gluten into 8 equal pieces. Place a piece of foil or parchment on the counter. Roll a piece of gluten between the palms of your hands until it’s about the size and shape of a hot dog. Place it on the foil/paper and roll up. Roll the tube back and forth, pressing lightly with your hands, to give it an even shape, and then twist the ends closed. Repeat with the remaining gluten to form 8 veggie hot dogs.

Set up a steamer in a pot and add enough water to come just below the bottom of the steamer. Begin heating the water. Place all the veggie dogs in the steamer, cover, and steam for 45 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before unwrapping. Store the veggie dogs in a covered container in the refrigerator. Warm gently in a frying pan or microwave or on a grill before serving.
