Vegan Sausages

6 1/2 oz box vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup nutritional yeast ( not brewers)
1/4 cup besan / chickpea flour
2 Tbsp vegan Chiken seasoning (salt and sugar free)
2 Tbsp granulated onion
1 to 2 Tbsp fennel seed( optional)
2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp smoked paprika 
1 tsp dried chili flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground allspice
2 1/4 cups cool tap water
6 to 8 garlic cloves minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, walnut oil is also nice
2 Tbsp. soy sauce

In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Whisk in the water,
garlic, oil, soy sauce and seasonings.  It should eventually come
together.  If too dry add a tablespoon or so of water.

Scoop out portions (1/2 cup at a time) and roll into a hot dog
shape.  Place on foil and roll up and twist edges to seal. Repeat
with remaining mixture. Place in a steamer.  Steam for 20 to 30
minutes, not allowing sausages to come in contact with the water.
In about 20 to 30 minutes you'll see these are puffed up in the
foil.

Remove to rack to cool completely in the foil to cool. Unwrap and
chill, covered in a container.  The texture should be of meat
sausages, same firm consistency, soft sausage texture, meaning they
can be sliced just like sausages.

Note: one can also form these into patties instead of sausage shapes
if desired.
