We have made many different kinds of strips but these are really delicious! Strips go well as a side dish with just about anything and they are a wonderful addition to pasta, rice, wraps, pita sandwiches and even quick stir fries (if you make them beforehand), their great versatility makes them ideal for your vegan recipe repertoire! Here is our latest version of strips. Enjoy!
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1/2 cup quick oats
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 crusty bread (could be a sub)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sweet peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 stalk celery, washed and sliced
2 1/2 sweet paprika powder
3 full Tbsp. cornstarch
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp. olive oil
Cut the bread in pieces and put in a large bowl with some water to soften. Meanwhile, in a blender with a 1/2 cup water, process the peppers, carrot, onion, potatoes, celery, rice and sunflower seeds until you have a paste.
Scrape out of the blender and add to the mushy bread. Mix well and add all the other ingredients, blending thoroughly.
Form patties. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375ยบ F for 15 minutes on one side, then flip and bake 15 more minutes on the opposite side.
Bring out of the oven and let cool. Cut into strips. Put into your favorite tomato sauce (spaghetti type sauce) and let simmer a bit until the strips soak in the juice of the sauce and the flavors blend.
Serve!

Hi. I would like to know if I can use broth or gravy as a simmering sauce after the patties have been baked and sliced.
Thank-you.
Yes! You can use gravy, any tomato sauce of your liking or even a "sofrito," which is nothing more than onions, peppers, tomato chunks and a bit of garlic sauteed in olive oil. Experiment, this recipe is very versatile!
Thank-you for your reply.
I found a basic sofrito recipe using pureed ingredients. I had an idea to simmer the strips in it, then separately sautee onions and bell peppers cut in strips with cumin and chili powder. I would like to then serve it all on warmed corn tortillas like fajitas. Would you suggest assembling them togther on the tortillas after both have finished cooking, or should I combine the two and THEN serve it on the tortillas?
Thank-you.
Also, is that 1 cup of cooked rice, or is it 1 cup of rice that you cook before adding?
That sounds delicious! Hope you love it!
That is 1 cup of cooked rice, it could be leftovers.
