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.

VEGAN BREAKFAST SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• In separate bowl whisk all the wet ingredients.
• Stir the wet into dry and mix lightly until combined and spongy dough forms.
• Form 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dough at a time into a small log about 6 inches long. INDIVIDUALLY wrap in aluminum foil (tightly, twisting the ends at the top and bottom like sausage casings. If they aren't wrapped tight enough they will burst out.
• When they are all wrapped up arrange them into a steamer basket over boiling water, and steam for 30 minutes.
• Cool, and remove from foil. Keeps in the fridge for up to a week. I freeze mine and take out as needed.
• What you have here when you're done is equal to raw sausage! Is isn't done yet! :) I like to saute it in a little oil in a cast iron skillet. It also crumbles up swell for tofu scrambles etc. Or slices for sausage and peppers. Sometimes after I unwrap these I immediately throw them in the oven with a little oil for another 10-15 minutes to crisp up the "skin".
• Note - I don't have a steamer. I use a strainer fitted over the top of a pot making sure the bottom of the strainer doesn't touch the water in the bottom of the pot. Then cover with a lid.

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.

VEGAN PINTO BEAN BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onions, mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the onions and mushrooms are soft and thick almost like a paste, about 6 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and remove from the heat. Let cool.
• Put the drained beans, chickpea flour, onion-mushroom mixture and 1 tablespoon oil in a food processor and pulse until the beans are finely chopped and hold together when squeezed, but not a smooth paste. Add the sage, thyme, maple syrup, rosemary, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pulse until combined.
• Divide the bean mixture into 12 even portions. Roll each out into a cylinder about 4 inches long, then roll up tightly in plastic wrap and twist the ends to secure.
• Set up a steamer and arrange the rolled up sausages in it (you may have to do this in batches). Heat the steamer over medium heat and once steaming, cover and steam until the sausages have plumped up, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover and refrigerate the steamed sausages until firm, about 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap the sausages and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning them as needed, until browned and crisp all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until heated all the way through, about 5 minutes.
