The less people know how sausages and laws are made, the better they sleep.

The recipe

Coarsely cut up the following ingredients and mix:

• 200 g smoked tofu
• one mid-sized onion (about 60 g)
• a few cloves of garlic (about 8 g)

Further mix with:

• 240 g kidney beans or white beans, out of a glass jar, somewhat drained
• 150 g oil (e.g., sunflower seed oil) (about one small cup)
• 14 g mustard (if available, use hot Dijon-style mustard) (one good tablespoon)
• 8 g dried parsley flakes (about 7 tablespoons, with a heap each)
• 8 g dried marjoram flakes (about 6 good tablespoons)
• 4 g paprika powder (one tablespoon with heap)
• 4 g salt (one teaspoon)
• 1 g pepper (one teaspoon)

Mesh up the whole thing with a blender, mixing thoroughly in the process. You may need to add some of the liquid from the glass of beans if the stuff is too stiff.

Done.

Tests surprisingly well and, if you know liver sausage, surprisingly similar to liver sausage.

Well, to tell the truth: Almost done. It is already tasty at this point, but if you let it sit for a few hours, it decidedly gets even better!

You can store a good part in the glass jar that had the beans. Close the lid and you have a nice gift for a nice person! But a lot will not fit into that glass.

Variation: Adding a touch of cinnamon doesn’t hurt.

The original recipe

I first encountered this vegan “liver sausage” at the Easterhegg 2025, where it appeared at the “everlasting breakfast”.

The recipe itself I got from a (German) Matrix-Post (which you can access if you have a Matrix account).

The original recipe asks for 3 g pepper, not just 1 g. Can be done, but ends up being a bit too peppery for my taste.

The original recipe asks for kidney beans. I found it makes little difference to use white beans instead, so I use what I happen to have.

The oil was missing from the original recipe, but I consider it a definite enhancement. Real liver sausage has about 1/3 fat content. The idea to try cinnamon is also mine.
