Sammy's Spicy Tempeh Sausages

Using your fingers, crumble tempeh into a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, portion tempeh sausage patties by gently packing tempeh mixture into the cup with the back of a spoon. Flip the measuring cup over onto the prepared cookie sheet, and tap it to release patty. Repeat portioning procedure, yielding 10 patties. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.

Using olive oil, lightly oil a large nonstick skillet. In batches, cook tempeh sausage patties over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until well browned. Carefully flip over patties with a spatula and cook an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Transfer cooked patties to a large plate. Add additional olive oil to the skillet, as needed, to prevent patties from sticking between batches.
