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

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.

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly,
and shape into 1" to 2" 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.

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 mins 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.
