Directions:

MUSHROOM-RED PEPPER SAUCE
1 Red bell pepper; minced
1/8 c Vegetable broth or water
-OR- more as needed
4 lg Mushrooms; minced
1/4 c Onion; minced
Salt; to taste
1/8 ts Celery seed
1/2 ts Chopped fresh oregano
1 ds Black pepper
Whole wheat flour
(pastry flour works best)

These plant-based sausages taste great, contain no added fat except the
vegetable oil they're fried in, and are easy to make. These ingredients
yield fairly mild sausages; after you've tried them, adjust the seasonings
to please your palate.

DIRECTIONS: Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix
thoroughly, and shape into 1- to 2-inch sausages. Saute in a small amount
of vegetable oil until crisp, or place in a baking pan and broil, turning
when edges are slightly crisp. Serve with Mushroom-Red Pepper Sauce
(below).

MUSHROOM-RED PEPPER SAUCE: Cook red pepper in vegetable broth for 5 to 7
minutes until tender. Add mushrooms, onion, salt, celery seed, oregano,
and black pepper. Cook 5 minutes longer or until onion is transparent.
Quickly whisk in enough flour to just thicken the sauce, about 2
tablespoons at a time. Immediately remove from burner. Do not overcook, or
flour will cake. If needed, add more vegetable broth or water. Serve over
sausages, whole grains, or vegetables.
