Instructions
Make the sausage mixture
Add the cooked lentils to a large mixing bowl and roughly mash about three quarters of them with a fork leaving some texture. Stir in the rolled oats, soy sauce, smoked paprika, fennel seeds, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
Shape the patties
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a round flat patty about half an inch thick. If the mixture feels too wet add a tablespoon more oats. If too dry add a splash of water.
Cook the sausages
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side pressing lightly with a spatula until they are deep golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Serve hot
Serve the vegan sausages immediately alongside scrambled tofu, toast, or roasted vegetables for a complete plant-based breakfast plate.
