How to make black bean sausage with tofu and fresh corn

  • Mince the shallows and garlic. Chop the cilantro. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a heavy saute pan over moderate heat.
  • When oil is hot, add the shallots and garlic.
  • Saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.
  • Place the beans, salt, and white pepper in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until beans are pureed.
  • Transfer to a large bowl.
  • To make garnis, remove seeds and membrane from the bell pepper.
  • Cut the pepper and carrot into very small, 1/8 inch, dices.
  • Heat oil in a saute pan over moderate heat.
  • When oil is hot, add pepper and carrots and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Cool completely.
  • Drain and towel dry tofu. Cut the tofu into very small, 1/8 inch, dices.
  • Add tofu, corn, and cooled sauteed vegetables to bean mixture, stirring to combine. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Pour stock into a double boiler.
  • Sprinkle the surface with gelatin and allow it to bloom for about 10 minutes.
  • Heat gelatin to a syrupy consistency over water that is 100 to 110 degrees F.
  • Remove and allow gelatin to thicken slightly.
  • Set the bowl of bean-vegetable mixture into a large bowl filled with ice and stir occasionally as it cools.
  • Add the gelatin, folding to combine, and continue stirring until thickened and well chilled.
  • To assemble sausage, spoon mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap in a long line.
  • Roll up, like a cigar, twisting the ends closed and securing with butcher's twine, if desired.
  • Chill 3 or 4 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, remove plastic and cut on the bias into 1/2 inch thick slices.
