Ingredients
  

For the vegan coney sauce:

  • 1 cup TVP
  • 1 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 3 Tbsp ketchup

For the vegan coney dogs:

  • Hot dog buns check ingredients to make sure they’re vegan
  • Vegan hot dogs We like our Carrot Dogs.

Instructions
 

  • REHYDRATE THE TVP - Boil your water and measure your TVP into a large bowl with all the dry spices. Then add the hot water, vinegar, soy and vegan worcestershire sauces and stir well. Cover and let sit for about ten minutes while you mince and saute your onions.
  • SWEAT THE ONIONS - mince your onions and saute in a medium saucepan over medium heat for approximately two minutes until they begin to “sweat” and soften. They should have only the slightest firmness when you add the TVP, etc.
  • BRING IT TOGETHER - when the onions are ready, add the TVP mixture to the saucepan and stir in the ketchup and mustard. Let simmer on low heat for about five minutes stirring occasionally until warmed through.
  • SERVING - Serve this vegan coney sauce on your favorite vegan hot dogs with an extra squeeze of yellow mustard and sprinkle of chopped onion! Leftovers will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
