herby tofu and oat sausages with nutty mash

[Guest guest]

another tofu recipe -- the dish resembled bangers and mash. The preparation asks

for a little extra effort. the recipes in this book are " gourmet " that way. not

just for women! see this review --

for me... I can't warm to the taste of dried seaweed, so i'd skip that.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: There is such a variety of goodness in this one delicious dish.

Plant hormones are available from the tofu, hummus (made from chickpeas),

parsley and potatoes. The oatmeal is another source of phytoestrogens and is

especially good for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels as well as supplying

excellent levels of fiber, which helps to prevent unwanted old estrogens

circulating in the body. <http://www.marilynglenville.com/about.htm>

 

You can make a nice gravy for these sausages by thickening some miso broth (see

page 176) with arrowroot and serving the sausages with some fried onions, into

which some sesame seeds and/or linseeds have been mixed.

 

MAKES 8-10. PREPARATION: about 30 minutes, plus 10 minutes chilling; COOKING:

20-25 minutes.

 

Put all the ingredients for the sausages in a food processor with generous

seasoning to taste and process until blended together. Do not over-mix or the

sausages will be too dense.

 

With floured hands, form the mixture into small tennis ball-sized spheres, roll

on a coating of more oats and then pat these out into sausage shapes (try to

give them four long flat sides as this will make the frying easier). Chill for

about 10 minutes. (If you had trouble getting good shapes, they will be easier

to shape after chilling.)

 

While they are chilling, cook the potatoes for the mash in boiling salted water

until tender. Drain well and steam dry in the hot pan. Keep warm.

 

Fry the sausages gently in hot olive oil, turning regularly, until well browned

on all sides, about 15-20 minutes in all.

 

Mash the dried potatoes, adding the walnut and olive oils and seasoning. Finish

by mixing in the chopped nuts and parsley.

 

Serve at once, accompanied by the nutty mashed potatoes.
