      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.
