Step by Step Method
TO MAKE THE SPICE LIQUID
Step 1
Place all ingredients in medium bowl. Stir in 2 cups boiling water. Set aside 5 minutes to steep and develop flavor.
TO MAKE THE SAUSAGE MIX
Step 2
Stir 1 cup warm Spice Liquid into masa harina. Let stand 5 minutes to rehydrate masa harina, then stir in hemp seeds.
Step 3
Heat 1 tsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup beans and 1/3 cup Spice Liquid. Using potato masher or back of spoon, mash beans into Spice Liquid. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until liquid evaporates, stirring frequently. Add 1/2 cup beans and 1/3 cup Spice Liquid, and mash and cook again, stirring. Add remaining 1/2 cup beans and remaining 1/3 cup Spice Liquid, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until mixture is thick and dry.
Step 4
Stir bean mixture into masa harina mixture. Cool, or refrigerate overnight.
Step 5
Use damp hands to shape Sausage Mix into 2-inch patties or small links.
Step 6
Coat non-stick skillet with cooking spray, or heat 1/4 cup oil, if using, in skillet over medium heat. Cook sausages 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until deep brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Cool 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
