vegan brownies--thanks

[Guest guest]

We thought the Seitan was really good. All three of my children, 5, 3 and 1

loved it. My husband thought I was crazy to take the time to make my own but I

thought it was worth it. We've yet to try any store bought though so we have

nothing to compare it too.

http://www.waltonfeed.com/grain/ldscn/73.html Here is a good article on it.

Homemade gluten patties is another name for these recipes.

 

You can also buy it already made.

This is a great product and I use it to make stir fries with and in many

recipes. The Vegetarian Burger is also the ground up version of this and

is great in chili, spagetti, on browned and put on pizza and made up into

Veggie Burgers. I have a great recipe for Veggie Burgers using this

product, if you would like it. These products have been around for years

and I've used them my whole life. They are great.

Most large grocery store chains carry this in their health food section.

Morning Star Farm Products, made by Worthington, is available in the Frozen

food section of grocery stores. There are lots of great products this

company makes as well as several other companies. Here are two other good

ones. http://www.cedarlakefoods.com/

http://www.llu.edu/foundation/market/mrkt-del.html You can find them at

Adventist Book/health food stores across the world. Look on line and at

www.adventistbookcenter.org to find a location near you. They don't have

them listed on their website for some reason, but they have a huge variety

of these type products in their stores.

 

Yours to Enjoy,

Judy

Katrina,

 

This is the recipe for homemade Seitan from the website Post Punk Kitchen. We

had never had Seitan before so I have nothing to compare it to but it was

really good.

 

 

Homemade Seitan

Submitted by Isa Moskowitz prep time: 15 minutes |

cooking time: 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours | makes about 4 cups

Traditionally wheat flour is washed and kneeded 3 times and over 2 days in

order to make the wheat gluten, but this seitan is made quicker by using Vital

Wheat Gluten flour. The flavoring for this goes well with pretty much anything,

but depending what you are using it for you can change the flavors up a bit by

adding finely chopped herbs to the mixture, or if you're making something Asian

or Indian, some grated ginger wouldn't hurt. Equipment:

Large ceramic or glass bowl, Smaller bowl for liquid ingredients, Skiller

(Cast Iron is best), Large soup pot with lid

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten flour

1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes

 

1 cup very cold water or vegetable broth

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated on a microplane grater

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

 

 

Simmering Broth

10 cups water or vegetable broth

1/2 cup soy sauce

 

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together Vital Wheat Gluten Flour and nutritional yeast

flakes.

 

In a seperate bowl, mix together reamining ingredients: water or veg broth,

soy sauce. tomato paste, garlic, lemon zest.

 

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine with a firm spatula, knead

dough for about 3 minutes until a spongy, elastic dough is formed. Let dough

rest for a couple of minutes and prepare your broth, but don't start boiling

it.

 

Now roll your dough into a log shape about 8 inches long and cut into 3 equal

sized pieces. Place the pieces in the broth. It is important that the

water/broth be very cold when you add the dough, it helps with the texture and

ensures that it doesn't fall apart. Partially cover the pot (leave a little

space for steam to escape) and bring to a boil.

 

When the water has come to a boil set the heat to low and gently simmer for an

hour, turning the peices every now and again.

 

Now you've got gluten. Let it cool in the simmering broth for at least a half

an hour. It is best if it cools completely.

 

What you do next depends on the recipe you are using. If it calls for gluten

use it as is. If you want to store some of it for later use put it in a

sealable container covered in the simmering broth.

 

If your recipe calls for seitan cut your peices up as desired. I prefer to

use a cast iron skillet for the frying because it produces the best flavor and

texture. Use as little oil as possible to coat the bottom of the skillet, 1

teaspoon may suffice. Heat the skillet over medium high and add your gluten.

Cook for about 20 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally. And there you have

it. Yummy seitan.
