Meatless Monday: Vegan Chilli Dogs

This American version of the German hot dog, is usually made with a meat chilli.  My vegan version is topped with a bean chilli and cheese-it should delight even your meat eating friends! 

Vegan Chilli dogs
Serves 2 

2 - 4 vegan sausages
2 hot dog buns

For the bean chilli
1 tbsp rapeseed oil or organic olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp pink salt
1/2 tsp chilli flakes or to taste
6 tbsp tomato puree
pinch of stevia
150ml water
1 can mixed beans 

Topping
Grated vegan cheese 

Cook the vegan sausages according to the manufacturer's instructions.  

Heat the oil and fry the onion for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the salt, tomato puree, chilli, stevia and water. Cook for 5-10 minutes over a low heat adding more water if needed. Stir in the beans and heat through.  

Split the hot dog buns and place a vegan sausage in each.  Top with the bean chilli then the grated vegan cheese. Serve with a side salad if you wish.
