Can't beat a banger?

Love sausages? Try these.

Swaps for: Pork sausages, bangers and Cumberland rings

Bangers and mash, a full English, a sausage sarnie with brown sauce — sausages are where plant-based swaps have got seriously good. Some, like THIS, use alginate casings that crisp up in the pan.

You'll find everything from classic herby pork-style bangers to Lincolnshire, caramelised onion and pork-and-apple flavours, chilled and frozen.

Cook it like you mean it

  1. Turn them regularly — plant-based sausages colour faster than pork ones.
  2. A splash of oil helps the skins crisp; some packs also give air-fryer times.
  3. Many frozen bangers cook from frozen; many chilled ones should not be microwaved. Check the pack.
  4. Rest them for a minute after cooking before slicing into a casserole or toad-in-the-hole.

Pack instructions always win — times vary between products. More in our cooking guide.
