Sun-dried Tomato & Basil Sausages (V + GF) | AV Show 29

3/18/2017 2 Comments
 
Introducing the Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Sausages, my version of a gluten-free, oil-free 'Tofurkey Italian Sausage'. 
Picture
Combine everything in your food processor, roll them up, steam for 15 minutes and use as desired. Dinner is ready before you know it. Make extra and place in the fridge or freezer for future meals. It took me two days of perfecting and 12 sausages to arrive, but success was mine when Gerald gave it a 10!!! Watch the new Artistic Vegan Show where you can cook with me in under 4 minutes with a fun surprise at the end and/or see below.

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 Cup Chickpea Flour
  • 2 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/3 Block Firm Tofu (Drained, Gently Dabbed with Clean Towel)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/3 Cup Packed or Big Handful Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1/3 Cup Chopped Sun-dried Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Liquid Smoke
  • 2 Tbsp Tamari Sauce
  • Spices to taste; I used (1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp ground coriander (fennel seed would be nice), oregano and sage) 

Peaceful Preparation:
  1. Cut four squares of parchment paper and aluminum foil. Pull about six inches worth out, tear it off and cut it in half. Repeat. Layer the foil with the parchment paper on top.
  2. Set-up your steamer. Bring water to a boil.
  3. Combine everything in a food processor. Process until it comes together, it will be sticky.
  4. Use a spoon or spatula and scoop out 1/4 of the amount. With wet hands, shape into sausage. Place it into the parchment lined foil, fixing as needed, and roll it up like a tootsie pop. Repeat until done.
  5. Steam for 15 minutes. Remove from steamer carefully. Cool to touch and un-wrap carefully. 
  6. Prepare as you wish: Grill 3-4 minutes on each side, saute in oil 3-4 minutes each side or until browned, bake or use as desired.

Notes to the Chef:
  • You can use parchment or aluminum vs. both. The aluminum leaches into your food so that is why the parchment paper is also used. 
  • You can use an electronic steamer or make one with a pot of boiling water, a steaming basket and lid to fully cover. Bring the water to a boil. 
  • My Tofu block was 349 grams. Soy-Free coming soon! I tested and it was not good enough to share...yet. :) Try this soy-free version or this spicy soy-free version.

I love sundries tomatoes, it am not keen on tofu.
Could I do these with something other than tofu do you think?

Perhaps potato that is boiled until soft? Or you could make these and add the sun-dried tomato to them vs. the apple or other soft ingredient. https://www.artisticvegan.com/blog/smoked-apple-sage-sausages-vegan-soy-oil-gluten-free-av-show-35. I could think on it more if that doesn't help. :) Thanks!!
