So I have been having a great time experimenting with different vegan recipes. I have learned to make all sorts of fun and exciting new things. The kids love it too. This recipe is becoming a weekly staple. We grilled it last week and enjoy it crumbled on pizza. I even used it to make my pica dio. It tastes just like a sausage, but way healthier. Give it a try!
Sausage
1/2 cup pinto beans
1 cup cold vegetable broth
1 Tb olive oil
2 Tb soy sauce
2 gloves garlic grated or smashed
1 1/4 cups wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 1/2 tsp fennel seed, crushed
1 tsp red pepper flakes (don't cut this down, it helps balance the flavor of the fennel)
1 tsp sweet paprika (I use regular because that is what I have)
1 tsp dried oregano
1. Get your steamer ready, and start bringing the water to a boil.
2. Have 6 sheets of tin foil ready. (I think 6" ish wide) In a large bowl, mash beans with a fork until no whole ones are left. Throw all the other ingredients together in order listed and mix with a fork. (Often I just mix it at the end with my hands.) Divide dough into 6 even parts, (I just pinch it off 1 at a time. Also, if you want it for crumbled sausage, you can make them bigger.) Place one part of the dough long way onto the tin foil and mold and stretch to desired length. Don't stress about the shape, they snap into shape while steaming. Wrap dough in foil like a tootsie roll, pinching off and twisting the ends.
3. Place in a steamer and steam on mediumish heat for 45 minutes. (I put my stove at 6)
I always double these and stretch it to make 14. We love them!

I'm excited for you to make this for me when I come visit...some day soon, I hope.
Be happy too! They are fun to make, but even more fun to eat.
Yes, I can spell correctly. Be happy to, not too. I think I need a nap.
