3 c Mixed vegetables

1 c Cooked spinach -- chopped
2 tb Olive oil
2 md Onions -- roughly diced
1/2 c Bread crumbs
3/4 c Egg whites
1/2 ts Ground coriander
1 t Minced garlic
1/2 ts Salt -- or as desired
1/2 ts Ground white pepper
1 t Fresh rosemary leaves -OR-
1/2 ts -Dried rosemary leaves
4 Feet sausage casing

ROUGHLY CHOP VEGETABLES into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside on a plate. Heat
the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and cook,
stirring, for 5 minutes. Decrease heat to low, add the vegetables and cook
for 10 minutes. Remove vegetables from heat and scrape the mixture into a
food processor. Add the egg whites and bread crumbs and puree until smooth.
Stuff the mixture into sausage casings or form 2 long sausages in plastic
wrap. Poach the sausages in gently simmering water for 7 minutes, drain and
let cool. If you have used plastic wrap to form the sausages, remove it
when sausages are cool. Cut sausages into 6-inch lengths. To serve, grill
the sausages or place under a preheated broiler. Since the sausages are
already cooked, we want only to reheat them and crisp their skins.
