Veggie Sausages

We have noticed how much many of you love the tasty vegan sausages that come out of our kitchen, and as we come up with new recipes for them, we share them with you. These are our latest and they are totally delicious and completely vegan, enjoy!

1 cup vegetable broth (either homemade or commercial and vegan, prepared)
1 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
1/2 cup oats
2 cups chickpeas (previously cooked or from a can, blenderized into a paste)
1 Tbsp. tomato sauce or 1 small tomato (if you use a tomato, blend it with the chickpeas)
3 Tbsp. vegan chicken style seasoning or equal parts of dried celery and parsley
1 medium sized potato, peeled
3 cups all purpose flour
3 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. onion powder (or adjust to taste)
1 tsp. garlic powder (or adjust to taste)
Slat to taste
1 tsp. coriander seed powder
2 tsp. fennel powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
Additional olive oil

Process the chickpeas, the potato and the tomato (if you use it) in a blender or food processor until you have a paste. Scrape into a bowl, add all the other ingredients, mixing and incorporating well. Form the sausages and cook them till golden brown.

There are 4 ways in which you can cook these:

1- You can barely "paint" a cast iron skillet with olive oil and cook them there until brown on all sides. If you use this method, put them on paper towels as you get them out, to make sure they will not be greasy. You can also cook them without oil in a cured cast iron skillet but you must be quick, and keep them moving or they will burn!
2- You can bake them at 275º F, turning them every now and then till they are golden brown on all sides.
3- You can steam them by using a metal colander over boiling water, but you must watch them, so that the boiling water won't run out, and you have to turn them around every few minutes.
4- You can grill them in a metal container to grill vegetables, until golden brown on all sides.

Note- Actually, you can grill them together with additional veggies, such as onions, tomatoes, peppers.

Yield- Serves 3, but recipe can be easily doubled
