intro and question about Gluten/Seitan - Libby

[Guest guest]

Libby,

Here is a gluten recipe that a friend sent me. Gluten and Seitan are the same

thing.

I use gluten to cut in strips and to make a use in Stir Fry. Here is my recipe

from the files.

http://tinyurl.com/2lmqje It uses Worthington Choplets, which are prepared

canned Gluten Patties in a broth.

Here is what it looks like, if you are unfamiliar with it.

I love their line of product.

 

I love to bread slices of it with Italian

bread crumbs and fry. I also make a casserole with them after I bread and fry

them. Here is how I do it.

I layer the breaded and fried gluten patties into a casserole dish. I like to

cut 1/4 of circles. Then I miss some of the broth

from the gluten, with some sour cream, mushroom soup and diced onions. I pour

this over the patties and bake them.

It is very good.

You can cut them up in vegetable stews.

Enjoy this very versatile food.

This is my mother's tried and true recipe for gluten

steaks. She has great success with it.

 

GLUTEN

1 3/4 cup water

3 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp onion powder

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp McKay's " chicken " Style seasoning

1/4 cup raw wheat germ

1/4 cup oatmeal

3 cups instant gluten flour

 

BROTH

4 quarts water

2 Tbsp McKay's " chicken " style seasoning

1 bay leaf

1/3 cup soy sauce

1 tsp vegex or equiv.

 

Knead gluten until all flour is mixed in. Make a roll

and slice in thin slice. Press between hands or on

floured board to make flat for sandwiches.

Drop into boiled broth and cook for 1 hour stirring

occasionally.

Drain in colander. Save broth for making gravy or

stew.

Can than put on greased cookie sheets in single layers

and put in freezer for 2 hours or so and then put in

bags. Can then take out just what you want to fix at a

time.

So many great uses. Dip in floured batter and fry to

put on buns as a burger. Grind up to make chili or

sloppy Joes. Cut up and put in stew or stroganoff,

etc.

***Important note: vital gluten flour not the same as

instant and will not work as well. Instant gluten

flour is not easy to find. My mom buys it at a place

called Apple Valley Health Food Stores in Michigan!

[sPAM] intro and question

 

 

Howdy :-)

I am Libby, new to this list, and new to the veggie lifestyle.

I have a box of quick mix seitan, and I am not sure of what to do with it.

I have the instructions on the box, yes, but I keep seeing recipies where it

says

small bite size pieces of seitan.

How would I get small pieces?

I am just kind of confused by the concept of this particular food.

 

Any kind of information (such as seitan101 for dummies) would be greatly

appreciated!

 

I live in Erie, PA with my Maine Coon cat, blue.
