I needed something with a kick. Do you ever feel like that? For some reason, I was craving something spicy. So late one night I whipped these up and put them in the crock pot to simmer overnight. Oh my gosh, so good! Slice them up into a pan with onions, and peppers and whatever else you like, and you have a meal.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Almond Flour
3/4 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1.5 tablespoons crushed fennel seeds
1/2 tsp Sage
1/2 tsp Poultry Seasoning
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Crushed chili peppers (or even more if you really like it spicy)
1/2 tsp Garlic
1/4 tsp Cajun Seasoning or Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Cumin
S&P to taste
____
1 heaping tablespoon almond butter (melted in microwave, totally optional)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 cup water
Mix dry ingredients together first. Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl. Combine the two and stir well. Feel free to add more water if needed. Knead the dough lightly for a few minutes with your hands. Pull apart into 6 pieces. With your hands shaped these into long hot dog shapes as good as you can then roll up loosely in foil like a tootsie roll and twist the ends shut. Keep in mind they will expand as they cook so make sure the foil is not too tight, we use it just to keep the general hot dog shape. Put in crock pot full of very hot water with two bay leaves and cook on high for 8 hrs. (I put mine in overnight and they were perfectly done when I awoke) If you prefer, you can simply simmer on the stovetop with lots of water covered for about an hour. After cooking you simply brown them in a hot non stick frying pan until browned on all sides. You can eat them on a hot dog bun, in a wrap, or in a stir-fry as shown with onions, and peppers. Ooooh, la la. These are HOT and SPICY! If you really don't like spicy, you may wish to cut the spices in half. Each link is approx. 100 calories, and 3 net carbs. I find that batch cooking things like this are key to keeping my healthy diet on track. Ever since making this small batch the first time, I now like to double the batch, and freeze the leftovers. I remove the foil before freezing in freezer bags. Please feel free to watch the video below for more details. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
