3-Ingredient Vegan Buffalo Nuggets

By Dolphl1970

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups of GimmeLean Vegan Sausage (located in the refridgerated section of your grocery store)
• 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 2 Tbsp hot sauce (Cholula garlic flavor is good)
• (2 Tbsp safflower oil to saute)
• (If you want a sweet taste instead of spicy, substitute sweet BBQ sauce or ketchup for the hot sauce.)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Gather your ingredients. Heat the safflower oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat.

2. Tear your sausage into tiny nuggets – they don’t have to be evenly shaped (unless you’d like to roll them into nice balls or pound into nugget shapes).

3. When the oil is hot, quickly roll each sausage nugget in the Panko and place them in the hot oil. Continue doing this until the pan is filled. Saute each nugget for about 2 minutes on each side. The Panko crumbs should crisp and brown until the nuggets become a caramel brown.

4. When your nuggets are evenly cooked, turn the heat off and add in your hot sauce. The sauce should accent ( but not overly saturate) each of the bites. Toss the nuggets in the still hot pan with the sauce.

5. Serve hot. (This recipe makes about 15 nuggets.)

These spicy nuggets are delicious with veggies, rice and beans, over pasta, in salads or even in a breakfast burrito. They are chewy and moist with a hint of sausage.
