Vegan/Vegetarian Sausage Patties

Step 1

Stir together tvp and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix flour, flax, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate. Stir in tvp. In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir, if using (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed). Stir in other liquid ingredients, then add wet to dry; mix well. With your hands, form mixture into 2" balls and flatten slightly into patties.

Step 3

Fry in oil in an uncovered frying pan on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side (or until browned).

Step 4

Freeze leftovers (if you have any) and microwave 1-2 minutes to enjoy on busy weekday mornings.
