Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
These fauxsages are incredibly versatile! Chop them into bite-size pieces and pan-fry them until crispy for use in salads, tacos, or chili.
Wine Advice:
With a sausage this rich and nutty, you need a wine that can handle the flavor. A light-bodied red like a Gamay or Pinot Noir is a great choice; their bright acidity and earthy notes will perfectly complement the savory paprika and nutty peanut butter without overpowering the dish. For a fun, unexpected twist, try a sparkling dry cider. Its crispness will cut through the richness and make every bite a delight!
