Portobello Steaks
Spicy Sausage
Pulse pinto beans in a food processor until they're coarse crumbs or mash with a fork; set aside.
Grind fennel seeds using a mortar and pestle into a thin powder, then combine with all other spices.
Transfer beans and spices to a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients in order plus 1 cup of water.
Stir a few times, then combine ingredients with your hands.
Knead for a minute or two to ensure even distribution and to help push the bubbles out (under-kneading may cause a spongy texture).
Shape mixture into a ball and break into 4 even segments and set aside.
Shape each segment into a logâdo not worry about molding sausages perfectly; the steaming process will help shape them.
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 5 inches square. Wrap dough in foil tightly and twist both ends so it looks like a Tootsie Roll.
Place sausages into a steamer, cover, and cook for 40 minutes.
refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
To use, warm gently in oven or toaster oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve them whole with a baked potato and side of vegetables or slice them up thickly for Steak and Pepper Fajitas (pg. 103). Serve with green beans or mixed vegetables and a Twice-Baked Potato (pg. 191) or Dijon Mashed Potatoes (pg. 190).
