vegan breakfast "sausage" patties

2 1/4 cups black eyed peas
1/2 cup potato flour
1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup bread crumbs
ener-g egg replacer equal to one egg (or use a real egg if you aren't vegan)
2 teaspoons tomato paste
3 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons crushed fennel seed
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons rosemary
3 teaspoons sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
a small amount of vegetable or olive oil

preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. combine black eyed peas through tomato paste. roll it out and form in to patties. grind spices, using a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder (that you don't use for coffee grinds!) cover patties in spice mixture, rubbing the spices in to the patties. spray skillet with oil and cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, just long enough to brown them.
