Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I cannot imagine any recipe that did not involve the kneading and washing because that is what washes the starch away from the stingy gluten and gives you the protein which makes the " roast. " I do know that there used to be a product from Arrowhead Mills called " Seitan Quick Mix " that made up a 2 pound (approximately) wheat/gluten roast that cooked up beautifully and fooled the carnivores. It was much better than the premade stuff you can buy because you not only could add your own seasonings but it was cheap. (Not as cheap as making it yourself from flour but when you consider the cost of labor and water for rinsing the balance was there.) I don't know if they still make this. It was vegan and it was WONDERFUL!!!! I miss being able to buy it. Cheers, Ardee-ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was vegan and it was WONDERFUL!!!! I miss being able to buy it. It's still available, and if you can't get it in your area, you can order it from http://www.healthy-eating.com/gluten_tempeh.html#mixes, along with instant gluten flour. You can also get it at http://www.dixiediner.com/, http://www.veganessentials.com/, and http://www.veganstore.com/cgi-bin/miva?Merchant2/merchant.mv (in case you want to compare prices).

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I used to use the Arrowhead Mills Seitan all the time also. They do not make it anymore. I now use White Wave Seitan, premade, in 5 lb bags. I buy them, 2 packs in a box for about $35 from the coop I belong to. I have found it's the closest taste to making it yourself and reasonably priced for pre made.
