Mom's Vegetarian Italian Sausages
Dry Ingredients:
5 cups gluten
1 cup yeast
2 tbsp ground fennel (or more!)
4 tsp crushed red pepper (or more!)
4 tsp paprika
4 tsp oregano or italian seasoning
black pepper to taste (2tsp-ish for me)
Wet Ingredients
1 box vegetarian broth
4 tbsp olive oil
8 tbsp soy sauce
8 cloves garlic (which is 4 tsp minced garlic)
1 can vegetarian refried beans
Instructions:
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ones in a second bowl, then mix the two together. (I mixed dry, then added wet, in one bowl)
The resulting dough should be very elasticy/spongey.
Using foil sheets (we used the precut deli-sized kind, and cut them in half), roll a bit of dough to hotdog/sausage size then wrap up in the foil.
Once they are all wrapped up, steam the sausages for 45 minutes to an hour. For this batch, we put water in a wok and put a bamboo steamer above that, just enough water to not get the steamer wet. You can stack them up but make sure the lid fits.
Take them out of the steamer. They are solid by this point but will continue to firm up until they are cool.
Makes 24
