    Black Bean Sausage with Tofu and Corn


    2 small Shallots
    3 large Cloves garlic
    1 bn Fresh cilantro
    3/4 cup Vegetable stock
    2 Tbs. Agar flakes
    1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
    2 cups Cooked black beans
    1/2 teaspoon Salt
    1/2 teaspoon Ground white pepper
    1/2 medium Green bell pepper
    1 small Carrot -- peeled
    1/4 cup Firm tofu
    1/4 cup Fresh corn kernels

    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.

    Remove seeds and membrane from the bell pepper. Cut the pepper and carrot into very small (1/8 in.) dice. 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 in.) dice. Add tofu, corn, and cooled sauteed vegetables to bean mixture, stirring to combine. Transfer to a bowl. Heat stock and sprinkle the surface with Agar and stir and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow 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 Agar, 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 a twist tie, if desired. Chill 3 or 4 hours or overnight. To serve, remove plastic and cut on the bias into 1/2-inch- thick slices.
