Tasty Chickenish Vegan Homemade Skillet Sausages

1. Cook cracked wheat according to package directions (exactly as you would brown rice), until it opens up and is soft. Cook for about 15 minutes, and test with a spoon if it is soft. If not soft, and the water has been absorbed, add a little bit more water and let it cook for 10 more minutes.
2. In a blender, process the rice, cracked wheat, walnuts, peppers, onion, and celery with just enough water to get the machine to run into a smooth paste. Scrape the paste into a bowl and add all the other ingredients.
3. Add just enough water to form a soft dough that is not runny. Cover dough with a kitchen cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes so that the vital wheat gluten will work in the dough.
4. Preheat skillet to hot, and lightly grease with olive oil. Form sausages with your hands into desired shape, and cook until golden brown on all sides.
These are a delicious side dish for mashed potatoes, baked yams or squash. Because of the gluten, they don't fall apart if you slice them into pasta sauce, or drop them into a pot of bean stew. You can also slice them and scramble them with tofu.
