     3/4   c            Egg whites
     1/2   ts           Ground coriander

     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.
