Ingredients

Sizzler Rolls

1 box Fry’s Classic Sizzlers
2 Tbsp (30 ml) vegan BBQ sauce or chutney (optional)
4 hotdog rolls, sliced
Vegan butter
Small bunch fresh coriander, washed

Sweet Coleslaw

½ cup chopped red cabbage
½ cup chopped green cabbage
1 large carrot, grated
2 spring onions, sliced
2 Tbsp (30 ml) white vinegar
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 garlic clove, finely chopped or microplaned
1 knob ginger, finely chopped or microplaned
4 dried apricots, chopped
1 tsp curry powder
1 Tbsp chutney
1 Tbsp vegan mayonnaise
Salt & pepper, to taste

Crispy Onions

Sunflower oil, for shallow frying
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 cup flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt & pepper, to taste
½ cup plant-based milk (almond, soy or oat)

Method

To make the sweet coleslaw, combine the red cabbage, green cabbage, grated carrot, spring onions, white vinegar, ground coriander, ground cumin, garlic, ginger, dried apricots, curry powder, chutney and vegan mayonnaise in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
For the crispy onions, pour enough sunflower oil into a medium-sized pot to fill it about one-quarter full. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C.
Whisk together the flour, garlic powder and paprika in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the plant-based milk into a separate bowl.
Working in batches, dip the sliced onions into the plant-based milk, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat well in the seasoned flour.
Carefully lower the coated onions into the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat until all the onions are cooked.
Cook the Fry’s Classic Sizzlers according to the package instructions. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush with vegan BBQ sauce or chutney, if using.
Lightly butter the hotdog rolls with vegan butter.
To assemble, spoon a generous layer of sweet coleslaw into each roll, top with a Fry’s Classic Sizzler, then finish with crispy onions and fresh coriander.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Can a sausage sizzle be vegan?

How do you make crispy onions without eggs?

To make crispy onions without eggs, dip thinly sliced onions in plant-based milk, coat them in seasoned flour and shallow fry until golden. No eggs needed and they come out perfectly crunchy every time.
