Ingredients

    1 c textured vegetable protein
    1 tsp thyme
    2 tsp sage (fresh)
    3 Tbsp fennel (fresh, finely chopped)
    1/4 tsp pepper
    3/4 c + 3 Tbsp veggie broth (hot! boiling, even)
    5-7 drops liquid smoke
    1 Tbsp Braggs
    1/2 c flour (all purpose or whole wheat)
    2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp ground flax mixed with 6 tbsp water, let sit for 5-10 minutes)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix the TVP and spices together. Make the flax eggs so they begin to congeal and are ready to mix when you want them (cold or lukewarm water is best). Combine veggie broth, liquid smoke, and Braggs, then add to dry mixture. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until liquid is all absorbed. Once liquid is absorbed, add flour and 'eggs'. Press into a lightly greased muffin tin to form patties about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 15 minutes. Take out of oven and remove from muffin tins. The sides in the muffin tin will be moist and soft; place patties on cookie sheet with the moist side up and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until crisp all around. Done.
I pan-fried a couple of these, but I'm more pleased with how the baked ones turned out. They might be good with a pan fry to finish them off, but I didn't miss the extra oil.

Serving Size: makes 16 muffin-tin-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick each
