You say seitian, I say gluten.. others may call it vegemeat. LOL All the same - .Gluten recipe!

[Guest guest]

It is commonly called gluten patties or vegemeat. It is a common ingredient in

most meat substitutes. It can also come in chunk, ground up into vegetarian

burger crumbles, and lots more. I use it all the time. I buy the

commerical products by Worthington foods, such as skallops, choplets, tender

bits, vegetarian burger, etc........

 

Here is a recipe for homemade gluten patties.

 

GLUTEN

1 3/4 cup water

3 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp onion powder

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp McKay's " chicken " like 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 " like 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

occassionally.

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 is 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!

Winter Warmer Stew (requires seitan and miso)

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound seitan, cut into chunks

1 large onion, sliced

4 medium carrots, sliced

4 medium potatoes, cubed

4 cups vegetable broth or water, enough to cover the vegetables

1 15 ounce can beans, black or kidney

1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons low sodium tamari or soy sauce

2 teaspoons dark miso

1 tablespoon flour, optional thickener

 

Saute the seitan and onion in olive oil, until onions are translucent. Add

the carrots and potatoes and sauté for a few minutes longer. Add the

vegetable broth to cover them.

Puree beans and diced tomatoes together in a blender until smooth. Add to

the stew. Cook until the carrots and potatoes are tender. Add tamari and

miso. If you would like a thicker stew, mix the flour with a small amount of

water, and stir that into the stew. If you like more vegetables, you can

also add diced mushrooms, celery, or any other fresh or frozen vegetables to

this mix.

Serves 6.
