Gluten issues

[Guest guest]

I am allergic to wheat gluten and sometimes oatmeal. What else can I use when

wheat gluten ask for in recipies like in sausage or seitan. Is it possible to

make seitan with other ingredients that wheat gluten.

I haven't tried them, but I've been intrigued by the gluten-free seitan recipes at this site:http://www.meatandeggfree.com/gluten-free-seitan.html

If you try them, I'd love to hear how they come out!Susan-------------------------Susan VoisinFatFree Vegan Kitchenhttp://blog.fatfreevegan.com

I once met a macrobiotic who was allergic to rise, so she could NOT eat brown rice, which was a 'staple' in the macrobiotic dietOn Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 6:33 PM, montaigneblanche <mdncs wrote:

Me too! Very interesting... seitan isn't widely available here in NZ plus I try to keep gluten low in our diets, so we haven't really got into it. But those do sound delicious.

This doesn't work for *making* seitan, but for imitating the texture of seitan

in recipes, I use Soy Curls (see

http://www.butlerfoods.com/products/soycurls.html ), a product whose only

ingredient is whole, non-GMO soybeans.

 

In any recipe that calls for seitan, I simply substitute an equal volume of the

soy curls. I don't make a whole lot of sausage-style dishes but sometimes for

brunch/breakfast I may season the soy curls with the same spices you would put

into seitan mix (fennel, thyme, etc.).

 

This seems easier to me than trying to replicate recipes calling for gluten as a

significant component to make a dense protein, since I have not had any success

in altering those recipes to be gluten-free.

 

Good luck,
