This was mentioned via chat on the show on 3/22… and I wanted to share it with everyone. Sounds yummy!
Mock Sausage
1 Cup dried lima beans or three cups cooked beans of any kind
2/3 cups bread crumbs (I like Progresso Italian)
3 eggs or egg substitute equivalent
Olive oil, canola oil, corn oil (just something to coat a frying pan)
½ tsp. sage
Salt and pepper
Pick over and wash beans, cover with water and let soak over night. Drain, cook in boiling salted water until tender, and then force through a strainer (sometimes a food processor or blender makes this too wet). Add sage and some of the bread crumbs to bind the mixture, shape into the form of link sausages, and roll in crumbs, egg, and crumbs again. Sauté until brown and serve with tomato sauce.
This recipe makes six to eight sausages, three inches long and three-fourths of an inch thick.
Thanks, Patrick! This recipe sounds pretty easy – I might give it a try in the next few weeks!
Also wanted to ask you – have you guys ever tried any of the LightLife products? (Gimme Lean, Smart Sausage, Smart Links, etc) Just curious.
