So to puree, I had to do one ingredient at a time. With a larger capacity food processor, you could mix the ingredients while also blending them all smooth.  Pureeing is optional, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d rather have a chunkier texture.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait to try other seasoning combinations for other dishes.  This combination complemented our jambalaya recipe deliciously; Gabe was reminded a bit of the taste of breakfast sausage.  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m told these can be frozen cooked or uncooked.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some cell pics I sent to Gabe as I experimented (these are steps 3 and 4):<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/foodpics\/sausagedry.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/foodpics\/sausagefrying.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Vegan Sausages, version 1<\/b> (makes about 12)<\/p>\n<p>(adapted from a recipe found at the Vegan and Gluten Free Yahoogroup)<\/p>\n<p>2 stalks celery, chopped<br \/>\n1 onion, chopped<br \/>\n2 tablespoons wheat-free soy sauce<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00bd cup water<br \/>\n2 cups cooked brown rice (this in the blender by itself gets rather gummy)<br \/>\n2 cups GF breadcrumbs (I used crumbs made from Whole Foods Flax Seed Bread, chopped fine in blender)<br \/>\n1\/2 cup chopped walnuts, minced in blender<br \/>\n3 tablespoons all-purpose flour<br \/>\n1 tablespoon arrowroot<br \/>\n1 tsp sage<br \/>\n2 tsp sweet basil<br \/>\n1 tsp garlic powder<br \/>\nTabasco sauce to taste<br \/>\nsalt and pepper to taste<br \/>\nadditional tbsps of flour<\/p>\n<p>1. Simmer onions and celery in water and soy sauce until soft.<br \/>\n2. Add remainder of ingredients.  Use hands to mix well.  The consistency reminded me of ground beef.<br \/>\n3. I decided on a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153wet hand\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153flour hand\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  With my dominant hand I rolled portions of the mixture to form sausages about 1 inch in diameter and about the length of my palm. I moistened that hand before each roll.  With my other hand, I rolled the shaped sausages in a bit of flour and rolled it in my hand until there was a thin coat covering each sausage.<br \/>\n4. Fry in a little oil until golden.  They will be slightly sticky when they are first put in oil; I held each sausage in the hot oil a few seconds to let the bottom surface cook a bit before leaving them in the pan.<br \/>\n5. Allow to dry on paper towels.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s not much fake meat I can eat, as almost all of it depends specifically on wheat gluten for its texture.
