1 sm. onion, minced
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
3 cloves minced garlic
2 c. cold cooked rice
1 c. cooked kidney beans
1/4 c. egg substitute
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. dried cilantro
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1 c. warm tomato puree

In a large nonstick frying pan, saute the onions in 1 tablespoons of the oil until clear. Add the cheese and garlic. Saute until garlic is clear.

In a large bowl combine rice, beans, egg substitute, thyme, oregano, cilantro and sage. Stir in the onion mixture. Transfer to food processor. Process until mixture is a solid mass, but NOT pureed. Just a few seconds. Divide into 8 parts. Form each part into a sausage shape. Roll in the bread crumbs.

Coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Set the sausages on the sheet and brush with remaining oil. Broil until mottled brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Serve with tomato puree. Yield 4 servings.
