Directions

Before mixing ingredients together get your steaming apparatus ready and
bring water to full boil. The rest of recipe comes very quickly.

Have ready four sheets of tinfoil. In a large bowl, mash the beans until
no whole ones are left. Throw all the other ingredients together in the
order listed and mix with fork. Divide dough in half and then into
quarters. Place one part of dough into tin foil and mold into sausage
shape about 5 inches long. Wrap dough in tinfoil like a tootsie roll.
Don't worry too much about shaping it; it will snap into shape while
it's steaming because this recipe is awesome.

Place wrapped sausages in steamer and steam for 40 minutes. That's it!
You can unwrap and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
I like them sliced and sauteed in olive oil for a few minutes or grilled
whole and then sliced!

the whole spices need to be either well crushed or ground BEFORE being added to the gluten base.
In some sausages you can see the whole spices [ eg. fennel in Italian sausages. mustard seed or
caraway in kielbasa] so there is flexibility for the chef to put their own spin on the recipe.
