Not Dogs

Well, I think this recipe is just gonna crack you up. At least it did me when I made it the first time. It tasted so much like the porky little link it was supposed to be. Even if you eat meat, so many people are cutting back these days for various reasons, that this little recipe may become a favorite. Now, if you're vegan or just don't do eggs, this one's not for you. But, in my opinion, you're missing out because this really beats those soy thingies from the store. And, of course, you must serve them on our Real Bread Grain Free Buns!

BLENDER INGREDIENTS

4 large eggs

2.5 ounces sliced mushrooms (about 1/2 cup)

1/3 cup cooked lentils (I use these, but Trader Joe's and other stores sell them pre-cooked)

1/2 small raw beet (about 2 ounces)

1 chunk raw sweet potato (about 2 ounces)

1 small celery stalk (optional)

1 clove garlic

A slice white or yellow onion

1 tablespoon coconut aminos or tamari

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons ground psyllium powder or gelatin

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a loaf pan (5 or 6 inch x 8 inch) with parchment paper or coat with coconut oil.

2. Add everything to your blender in the order given and blend until smooth.

3. Pour into the prepared pan and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Let rest 15 minutes then, slice into 'dogs' and serve with your favorite condiments.
