Vegetarian Sausage Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together textured vegetable protein and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Add flour, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate. In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed). Add water mixture and remaining liquids to dry; mix well. With your hands, form mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties. Heat a 1/4-inch of canola oil in a cast iron pan. When the canola oil is hot, fry patties for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden. Repeat the last step with remaining batter, adding more oil each round as necessary. Serve hot.

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.

Steps:

• Boil water and add TVP, let sit 5 minutes.
• Measure dry ingredients in a bowl, stir to mix.
• Add TVP, mix well.
• Measure all liquid ingredients in a measuring cup (I use the one that had tvp in it.) Stir well. If you use warm water, the molasses and syrup mix better.
• Add wet to dry, stir well. If it's still sticky, stir in 1-2 tablespoons extra whole wheat flour.
• Shape in 2 inch balls.
• Heat oil over medium heat, and add sausage balls, flattening as desired. (Mom likes them fat, I like them thin.) Cook about 2 minutes per side.
• Freeze leftovers.

Steps:

• Put pinto beans and lentils into two separate pots of water; bring both to a boil, turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.
• Drain and rinse beans.
• Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat; cook and stir mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper in hot skillet until onion is soft and mushrooms are darkened, 25 to 30 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture onto a platter to cool.
• Process pinto beans, egg, sage, rosemary, basil, marjoram, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a food processor until smooth; transfer to a bowl. Mix lentils, cooled mushroom mixture, oats, Cheddar cheese, and sunflower kernels with the processed pinto bean mixture until somewhat evenly mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Divide and shape mixture into 16 patties.
• Cook patties in batches in hot skillet until browned and heated through, about 7 minutes per side.

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.
