Vegan Andouille Sausage

This is a recipe I found in one of the numerous vegan cookbooks I have, Quick and Easy Vegan Celebrations. It is one of my new favorite books, and is packed with some of the greatest vegan conversions I have ever seen.
I tried out this sausage recipe, and I am certain that this will be a mainstay in our house for a long time to come.

Dry ingredients:
1 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
1/2 cup soy flour (I substituted with whole wheat)
2 Tbl nutritional yeast
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Wet ingredients:
1/2 cup water
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbl Bragg's liquid aminos
1 Tbl tahini
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbl vegan Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp hickory liquid smoke

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in with the dry until it forms a dough. Break into four balls, and roll each ball into a 6 inch log. Wrap very tightly in aluminum foil and twist the ends. Put into a steamer pot and steam for 40 minutes, covered. Let cool, keep refrigerated until eating.
