Italian “To-sage”.
Yep, you guessed it.
Italian sausage made of tofu.
It’s not only possible but also tasty!
It takes a few steps to make Italian “To-sauge”
First I make Italian sausage flavored tofu “meatballs”.
Then I roughly crumblemi them into smaller pieces and fry them until crispy.
This is what it looks like as the final result.
Mise en place for my Italian “To-sage” Pizza.
This is what it looked like when just out of the oven.
Served with cashew cheese.

1. Mash tofu with a masher.
2. Add chopped mushroom, spices, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add corn starch 2 tablespoons at a time until the mixture is firm enough to be formed into balls.
4. Make balls.
5. Cook them in oil until the outside is browned. Remove from the pan.
