Glorious seitan. The other fake meat. It's not nearly as evil as it sounds; just sinfully delicious. It's simply the protein part of flour, so if you're allergic to wheat this recipe isn't for you. The recipe looks daunting, but it's actually super simple. Just a lot of spice ingredients to give your seitan some flavor.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cumin
1-2 tsp pepper (I use 2 tsp)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 cup +2 Tbsp cold water
2 Tbsp tamari
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1-3 cloves garlic, crushed well (I use 3, I like garlic)
Preheat oven to 325°.
In a large mixing bowl mix dry ingredients. Mix the rest of the ingredients (liquid ingredients) in a smaller mixing bowl. Whisk well until mixed.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well, then knead for a couple of minutes.
Form into a log (6-8" long), wrap tightly in foil, twisting ends. Bake for 90 minutes. When done baking, unwrap and leave out to cool all the way. Then wrap it foil or plastic and refrigerate. Slice to use as desired (stir fry, sandwiches, pot pies, etc.)
Enjoy!
