Homemade Vegetarian Smoky Breakfast Sausage Links

• 1/2 cup cooked adzuki beans, rinsed and drained (canned is okay)
• 1 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon light olive oil (or veg. oil, canola, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon rubbed sage (not powdered)
• 2 teaspoons ground fennel
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1. Prepare bamboo steamer(or use steamer in a large saucepan), and lay out 25 sheets of foil, each about 5 inches square.
2. Mash beans with fork in a bowl until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Roll walnut sized pieces of bean mixture into small links(they don't have to be perfect). Wrap each link in foil, and twist both ends so it looks like a tootsie roll.
4. Place wrapped links in steamer, cover, and steam 30 minutes. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to use.
5. Warm gently in the oven or toaster oven 8-10 minutes if not serving immediately.
