Vegan meat alternative brand, Squeaky Bean, has expanded its range with the launch of its cooking chorizo, a plant-based sausage that mimics the taste and texture of the Spanish dry-cured meat.

The first of Squeaky Bean’s products designed specifically for cooking, the sausage is made with fava bean and pea protein and is a source of fibre and protein. It is seasoned with chilli, smoked paprika and garlic, giving the sausage the distinct chorizo-red colour and full flavour.

Rebecca Youseman, brand manager at Squeaky Bean, said: “We know our fans have been increasingly craving vegan products that can replicate their favourite cooking ingredients, which is where our new Cooking Chorizo Style Sausage comes in. Offering the same smoky punch of flavour and texture as a Spanish chorizo thanks to our slow dry curing process, the Cooking Chorizo Style Sausage allows consumers to recreate their favourite chorizo dishes in a plant-based format, making it an ideal choice for meat reducers and vegans alike.”

The plant-based chorizo will be available in Waitrose stores across the UK for an RRP of £3.50 per 100g sausage.
