Fresh Homemade Seitan
Seitan is one of the most incredible meat alternatives and can bring to life many vegan dishes when you are looking for texture. This new and updated recipe for Seitan is different in both taste and in texture. I have used different seasoning and added soya flour to make for a more complete protein. Use in hot and cold dishes. This is actually great when sliced and eaten in a sandwich.
Please Note : Seitan is made from Vital Wheat Gluten and is NOT suitable for people with Wheat/Gluten intolerances.

INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups vital wheat gluten – Here is where I purchase mine
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup soya flour
2 heaped tablespoons tomato ketchup
1/2 teaspoon yeast extract
2 heaped teaspoons vegan gravy granules
3 heaped tablespoons vitalite (or your prefered vegan spread)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
Pinch dried sage
Pinch dried thyme
2 tablespoons kelpamare seasoning ~ Available Here ~ If not available use soy sauce or liquid aminos
200ml water
METHOD
Excluding the water, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and whiz for 30 seconds to combine.
Slowly add the water and when all of the water has been added, continue to whiz for a further 1 minute until totally combined and the gluten has been released.
Remove from the processor and kneed for 1 minute. Form into a ball and wrap well in foil.
Place in a pre-heated oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let the seitan cool in the tinfoil before using.
RECIPE NOTES
Be sure to follow the exact quantities of the ingredients to achieve the best results in taste and texture.
