soy free wheat free meat free cheapo holy grail sausage...and it tastes good with gf ingredients 


soy free wheat free meat free cheapo holy grail sausage...and it tastes good with gf ingredients




I was lazy and used a food processor to mince:
1/3 well washed medium sized  leek including greens (you could use 1/2 an onion but we were out)
with 1 tb sage
1/4 tsp fresh pepper
6 cloves garlic
2 sprigs rosemary
salt (if desired)
1 tsp sri racha
1/4 tb allspice
handful parsley
a few leaves of basil (because we had gone to the garden earlier)
after this resembled a leaf puree I add
2-3  tb soysauce
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 egg or egg replacer equivalent (flax goo works here)
1/4-1/2 cup potato starch
1 12 oz can well drained black eyes or equivalent of well cooked black eyed peas
(optional) 1 tb fennel, more basil, red pepper flakes, cayenne, 1 tb maple syrup or replace 1/4 cup thick applesauce for egg depending on flavour you are going for
and blend until resembles pinky brown uncooked sausage and beans are fully amalgamated into this with no big pieces.
2 oz walnuts chopped or hand squished to bitty pieces add necessary texture. note that it does not taste like meat but does taste like decent veg sausage.

Fry in scant oil medium high (1tsp or so for each 1/4 lb)browning all sides or make into patties and or meatballs, spray with oil and pile onto parchment lined cookie sheet for 10-20 minutes at 425 degrees. Freezes very well after cooking or as loose sausagey stuff up to 1 week in fridge. Keep separate from soggy/ damp items like sauce or steamed veg until immediately before serving as it ruins the texture.
