Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Meg, I'm sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. The message was in my spam folder for some reason. You and Pat have both had good luck with making seitan from gluten but I was concerned about not being able to get it here in Holland. Anna was kind enough to send me a link to a possible supplier but they only sell wholesale with a minimum order of 20 metric tons. A friend's husband asked at their local mill and was thrilled to discover that they have gluten flour available in 2.5 and 5 kg bags so I am one step closer to getting my hands on the precious ingredient. The next thing will be working out the logistics of actually collecting it as my friends live in the far north of the country. Train fares here are prohibitively expensive so I'm not sure when I'll be able to actually get the gluten and start experimenting. I have a book by Dr Ornish (the Reversing Heart Disease one) so I'll have to look to see if it has the seitan recipe in it. I want to be sure to use a reliable recipe for my first attempt.

Using whole wheat flour was something I first considered but then I found the Dr. Ornish recipe with just gluten flour and it was quicker and easier..

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Marie - I only used the Dr. Ornish recipe with the gluten flour because I can get it very easily but due to the expense of it these days I'll try whole wheat flour the next time I make Seitan...as far as I can see it only takes a longer rinsing time under the faucet to separate the wheat protein from the starch to get the gluten ...either way the fat content is still very low and the protein content high I think...a good Seitan is really dependent on the seasonings and herbs and flavors you use...I've found that the stronger I go on the peppercorns and garlic and such the better it comes out...and also the baking to give it a good meaty texture that I like...Good luck on your first try and have fun! xoxox Meg On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 12:27 PM, Marie Rieuwers <marierieuwerswrote: > Hi Meg, > > I'm sorry I didn't respond to this sooner.
