Vegan Breakfast Sausage Patties With Tvp Food

VEGAN BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES WITH TVP

Steps:

• Pour boiling water (or vegetable broth; see notes) over TVP in a mixing bowl. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes to absorb.
• Add in all remaining ingredients and stir until well-combined. There should be no dry spots. Set in the fridge for about 10 minutes and the mixture will firm up slightly. The mixture should hold together like wet sand when you squeeze some of it in your palm, but it shouldn't stick to your hands. If it's too crumbly, you can add additional water a few teaspoons at a time. If it seems too wet, add additional flour 1 tbsp at a time.
• Shape into balls roughly 2″ in diameter. I usually get 9 medium-sized patties from this recipe. You can make them larger or smaller if you like; you'll just have to adjust the cook time accordingly.
• To pan-fry (recommended), heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place balls in pan and flatten with the back of a spatula into patties. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, until deep golden brown.
• You can also bake these if you prefer to cook oil-free, but the result will be less moist. I would recommend at least spraying them with a bit of olive oil. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place balls on a lined baking tray and press flat into patties. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges and bottom of patties are slightly golden brown. (They won't brown as dramatically as the pan-fried ones.)

VEGAN BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Mix TVP, vegetable broth, and flaxseed meal together in a large mixing bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Add oats, yeast, flour, gluten, sage, black pepper, fennel seeds, garlic powder, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne. Mix until well blended.
• Combine water, soy sauce, and maple syrup in a separate container and mix well. Add to the TVP mixture and combine into a slightly crumbly dough. Mix well to activate gluten and let dough sit for 5 minutes; dough should stiffen slightly and become less crumbly.
• Form into tablespoon-size balls and flatten slightly.
• Heat oil in a cast iron or nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Cook sausage patties in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side.

TVP VEGGIE SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Boil water and add seasonings. Combine TVP, flour and vital wheat gluten. Add broth to dry ingredients. Lightly oil muffin pan, and fill bottoms of cups with about 1/2" of mixture. Bake in 400 degree oven about 10-12 minutes until firm. When ready to use, fry until brown on both sides, or crumble for use in recipes. Makes 12-14 patties.

VEGAN BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Stir together flax and water in a small bowl or cup, set aside.
• In a food processor, add dry oats and pulse on high six or seven times, add the rice and pulse a few more times.
• Add remaining ingredients including 1 T canola oil and flax/water mixture and blend till just mixed. (do not over process, you can finish mixing together with your hands).
• With dampened hands, form balls the size of a ping pong ball and then flatten into little patties about 1/4" thick (thicker if you like).
• coat the bottom of a non-stick frying pan with the remaining 1 T canola oil and heat over medium high.
• When the oil is hot, cook the patties on each side until they are browned.
• transfer to a paper towel to blot off any excess oil before serving.

TVP BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Add salt and spices to water, bring to boil. Add TVP. Remove from heat, stir well, and allow to cool enough to mix with eggs. Beat egg with sugar*, add TVP mixture. Form patties - extra may be frozen. Fry up (about 3 minutes per side, till nicely browned) and enjoy!
• * I'm not sure what the sugar's for - the original recipe called for more sweetener than this and it came out quite sweet. I left in a little to help the sausage brown up, but I'm sure the recipe would be fine without it!

VEGAN/VEGETARIAN SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Stir together tvp and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, flax, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate. Stir in tvp. In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir, if using (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed). Stir in other liquid ingredients, then add wet to dry; mix well. With your hands, form mixture into 2" balls and flatten slightly into patties.
• Fry in oil in an uncovered frying pan on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side (or until browned).
• Freeze leftovers (if you have any) and microwave 1-2 minutes to enjoy on busy weekday mornings.
