Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 July 6, 2009 Recipe Barbecued Seitan Strips Our friend Susan at fatfreevegan.com has created a firecracker of a recipe with her Barbecued Seitan Strips. Sometimes referred to as “wheat meat,†seitan is high in protein and low in fat. It has a hearty consistency that’s ideal for absorbing the flavor of your favorite barbecue sauce or special marinade. Start this recipe in the kitchen, and finish up on the grill or in the oven. Either way, it will spark up your holiday party or backyard get together. Ingredients: 1 cup vital wheat gluten2 tsp. paprika2 Tbs. nutritional yeast2 tsp. onion powder1 tsp. garlic powder¾ cup water2 Tbs. tahini or a nut butter1 tsp. Liquid Smoke (optional)1 Tbs. soy sauceabout 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce Directions: Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly spray an 8x8" baking dish with vegetable oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together water, tahini, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce; add it to the dry ingredients; mix well, then knead lightly in bowl for a minute. Press and flatten dough into the baking dish so it evenly fills the pan; take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then cut those strips in half for 16 pieces (if the gluten tears or pulls when cut, use your fingers to hold it in place). Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes (while it's cooking, prepare your grill). Remove from oven and re-cut strips, to make sure they will pull apart easily later; generously brush the top with BBQ sauce. At this point, you can return the seitan to the oven and continue baking another 20 minutes, then flip the strips over, baste again with sauce and bake for a final 20 minutes; OR Take to the grill and invert baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill); brush the top of seitan with more sauce (watch closely to make sure it doesn't burn); when sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce if necessary. When done, remove to platter and cut or pull apart individual strips to serve.

People with such diets are also more prone to obesity and heart attack. The research was published online in the June 26th Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The study of more then 500,000 participants revealed that men and women who consumed high amounts of total fats increased their rates of pancreatic cancer by 53 and 23 percent, respectively, and those who consumed high amounts of saturated fats had 36 percent higher rates of pancreatic cancer. Researchers observed a positive association between pancreatic cancer and intakes of total, saturated, and monounsaturated fat overall, particularly from red meat and dairy food sources. They observed no such association with polyunsaturated fat or fat from plant food sources. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths, killing 95 percent of its victims.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009  I made these seitan ribs for the first time yesterday, and they were SO DELICIOUS! The only problem I had was cutting them into strips. I think next time I would cook the seitan in one whole piece, like a flank steak, and cut slices afterwards. Except for the difficulty I had cutting them into slices, the recipe was ridiculously easy. Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
