Vegan Sausage Patties

Should make about 16 to 18

Ingredients

Soak for 5 minutes:

• 1 c tvp (textured vegetable protein - Bob's Mill or other in health food aisle most grocery stores… great prices at Ocean State Job Lot on Bob's Mill products)
• 1 c boiling water

Mix together then add to TVP:

• 1 c whole wheat flour
• 1/2 c oat or wheat bran
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (Whole Foods bulk and baking aisles… sometimes in baking or health aisles regular grocery stores, but rare) 
• 2 tbsp ground flax seeds, optional (can grind in covered blender)
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp crushed sage
• 1 tsp ground fennel (if seeds, grind in covered blender)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Optional for hotter sausages (I use) 1/2 tsp cayenne
• Optional for really hot sausages: 1/4 to 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes

Mix liquids together then mix well with dry ingredients:

• 1/2 c water
• 1 tsp liquid smoke (near steak sauce in grocery stores)
• 6 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp blackstrap molasses

oil for frying

Instructions

With your hands, form mixture into ½" thick patties.
Heat a quarter inch of oil in a fry pan.
When oil is hot, fry patties for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden.
Repeat last step with remaining batter, adding more oil each round as necessary.
Serve hot.

I sometimes freeze and reheat in oven… but it dries them out a bit… looking to improve this step. And looking to tweak the recipe a bit more… will keep you posted.
