Vegan/Vegetarian Sausage Patties
This is modified from http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/?p=755, which has some lovely step-by-step photos. My meat-eating husband said, "In some ways I like these better than real sausage." They definitely wouldn't fool anybody, but they will satisfy any craving you may have for breakfast sausage without harming pigs or raising your cholesterol, and they taste MUCH, MUCH better than any vegetarian sausages you can buy in the freezer of your health food store. Enjoy with hash browns, fruit and Recipe #364735 for a vegan breakfast feast! You might want to double the recipe, though.

Stir together tvp and boiling water and set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix flour, flax, bran, and dry spices; stir to incorporate. Stir in tvp. In a measuring cup, measure out water; add liquid smoke directly to the cup and stir, if using (this way the smoke will be evenly distributed). Stir in other liquid ingredients, then add wet to dry; mix well. With your hands, form mixture into 2" balls and flatten slightly into patties. Fry in oil in an uncovered frying pan on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side (or until browned). Freeze leftovers (if you have any) and microwave 1-2 minutes to enjoy on busy weekday mornings.
