Ingredients

For the Sausage

  • 1 8 oz pkg soy curls rehydrated
  • 3-4 cups broth or water to rehydrate soy curls
  • 6 oz mushrooms I used white, but any would work
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 2 cups hash browns, thawed can use grated potatoes, but press out as much water as possible
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 flax eggs 2 tbsp flax meal/6 tbsp water

For the Spice Mix

  • 1-2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1-2 tsp fennel, ground
  • 1/2-1 tsp black pepper
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1-2 tsp dried sage
  • 1-2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2-1 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

Mix the Spices

  1. Place all the spices in a mortar and pestle or a small mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside. *See note regarding amounts*

For the Sausage

  1. Rehydrate the soy curls by placing them in a bowl and covering with broth or water. Set aside for 10 minutes or so. When soft and completely rehydrated, drain into a colander and using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. 

  2. Add the soy curls to the bowl of the food processor and pulse until you have small bits. Add these to a large mixing bowl.

  3. Do the same for the mushrooms, walnuts, rice and hash browns. Each ingredient should be pulsed separately and added to the mixing bowl. 

  4. Mix soy curls, mushrooms, walnuts, rice and hash browns thoroughly. 

  5. Add spice mixture.

  6. Add nutritional yeast, tomato paste and flax eggs. Continue to mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. 

  7. Form patties and place on a baking sheet to bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. This is the best method for initial cooking. 

    Alternatively, you can fry these in a dry pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side. Turn carefully! 

    *See note for further info on best reheating method**

Recipe Notes

  • Start with the lesser amount of spice listed if you tend to like things milder in taste. Bump up to the higher amount if you like things highly flavored (I do...and I also like things spicer (heat) so I add more red pepper flakes. 
  • These patties hold together best if they are oven-cooked first. To reheat, they do nicely in a dry pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side. 
  • I have great results freezing these. Separate with parchment paper and freeze in an air-tight container.
