How to Make Homemade Vegetarian Smoky Breakfast Sausage Links

  1. Prepare your bamboo steamer (or a metal steamer in a large saucepan). Cut 25 squares of aluminum foil, approximately 5 inches per side.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans with a fork until completely smooth.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari), 1 tablespoon liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup rolled oats.
  4. Roll the bean mixture into small links, approximately the size of walnuts.
  5. Wrap each link tightly in a foil square. Twist both ends to seal, creating a tootsie roll shape.
  6. Place the wrapped links in the steamer basket. Ensure they aren't overcrowded. Cover and steam for 30 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the sausage links from the steamer and let cool slightly before unwrapping.
  8. Serve immediately. For later, refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or in a toaster oven until warmed through.
