Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Just got through eating a Vegan Cookie, why do these grains have to taste so damn good. Does anybody know how to make good Wheat Meat? Like the kind at Real Foods Daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say 'lots' of people. Some. One of our members posted an opinion that grains were not meant for humans and cited a pamphlet that explained it further. There are lots of theories, but I would think that wholegrains in moderation should not be anyone's concern provided that there is no allergy. It's always that word moderation, though, isn't it! Heh heh heh. I have, however, not made a study of the subject and base my opinion on observation and common sense, the latter being not always as common as thought or as sensible as it might be. Best, Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 It's news to me, Tom...I thought whole grains were a good thing. *sigh* Basically, I don't think we're supposed to eat anything. Everything seems to be harmful in 1 way or another. How frustrating. , " Tom " <tguidry@p...> wrote: > Howdy Ms. Pat.....

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Wheat Meat is just another name for seitan or wheat gluten. The White Wave chicken-like flavor of wheat meat is just gluten that has been cooked in the right flavorings. The hard way to make gluten is to knead water and flour until you have a stringy mass and no carbohydrate. The easy way is to buy vital wheat gluten from any health food or whole food store, add water and flavorings per box or bag instructions. Cookbooks by Joanne Stepaniak and by Bryanne Clark Grogan have some good gluten recipes, but the best book ever is “Simply Heavenly!, the Monastery Vegetarian Cookbook” by Abbot George Burke. It has recipes to make all kinds of fake meat, poultry, and fish out of gluten with the right flavorings. I just noticed, since I pulled the book out to get the title right, that the introduction section of the book says you can substitute tofu (frozen, thawed and pressed) for the gluten if you are sensitive to gluten. Here is a fake turkey recipe that I have made, adapted from the Simply Heavenly book: Pressure Cooker Unturkey Slices adapted from “Simply Heavenly, The Monastery Vegetarian Cookbook,” by Abbot George Burke Raw Gluten: 2 cups instant gluten (1 box of Vital Wheat Gluten) 1 ¾ cups water Broth: 2 Tbs soy sauce (I use low sodium) 1 tsp brown gravy flavoring (like Kitchen Bouquet or or Maggi) 1/8 tsp sage 1/ 2 cup chopped onion 2 1/ 4 tsp msg (I skip this because of the sodium in it) 1/ 2 tsp sea salt 1/ 2 tsp poultry seasoning 3 Tbs plus 2 tsp nutritional yeast 1 tsp corn oil 2 cups water Put the broth ingredients in a pressure cooker, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes While the broth is simmering, put the instant gluten and water into a medium bowl. Mix until the powder is gone. The spongy result is raw gluten. Put the raw gluten into the broth. Make sure to get some of the liquid on top. Put the pressure cooker basket or a small plate on top to hold the gluten down in the broth. Close the pressure cooker lid and cook on high until the steam release is vibrating like crazy (broth is boiling), then reduce heat to get the steam release to vibrate just mildly. Cook this way for 30 minutes, remove from heat for 5 minutes, then open the lid. Cool the gluten a few more minutes. When the gluten is cool enough to touch, slice thinly. Lay slices on a broiler pan and spray lightly with oil. Broil lightly. Turn over and do the same on the other side. The unturkey slices are now ready to be cooked in gravy and served over bread, potatoes, or stuffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
