Oatmeal Mushroom Steaks

Categories: None

Serves: 1 Servings

Ingredients:

2 1/3 c Old fashioned oatmeal ( try
-toasting the oats first in
-the oven ) Good!
1 md Onion, chopped
3 tb Low-fat margarine ( can
-reduce amt., use olive oil,
-or just saute' with water )
3 Eggs, well beaten ( can use
-liquid egg substitute )
1 cn (8 oz) mushroom pieces,
-drained ( may sub. equiv.
-amount fresh, lightly
-cooked
1 ts Vegex* dissolved in:
1/2 c Hot water
1/2 c Canned skim milk
1 ts Lawry's seasoned salt ( or
-any that you like )
1/2 ts Thyme, dried
1/2 ts Sage, "
1/2 ts Poultry seasoning
1/2 ts Paprika

Instructions:
-----------------------------------GRAVY-----------------------------------
1 cn Low-fat cream of mushroom
-soup
2 cn Hot water with:
1/2 ts Vegex dissolved into it

Vegex: this is similar to Marmite, a dark paste made from nutritional
yeast. You may find it in natural food stores. Also called Sovex. If you
can't find it try 2 tsp. of bouillon or cubes in the water. Vegex adds a
nice rich "dark" flavor to recipes.

Saute' onion however you choose, until clear. Then combine all the
ingredients except those for the gravy. Let mixture stand in a covered bowl
in the fridge for 45 min. to soak up moisture. Using about 1/3--1/2 cup of
the mixture form small oval patties and brown in a non-stick pan using a
no-stick spray. Or you can place them on a well sprayed large cookie sheet
to brown. Flip them over when bottom is nicely browned, I would say about
10-15 min. in a 350 oven, then 5- 10 min. on the "flip side". I'm not sure
as I always brown them in a pan on the stove or in an electric frying pan.
Layer the "steaks" in a sprayed baking dish and cover with the gravy. If
you like these you can eliminate the gravy and form them into "burger"
shapes and serve with buns and all the fixings!
