Jessie's Key Lime Pie

This recipe uses Vital Wheat Gluten. You can find it in baking sections all over the place. A box will run you about 1.79 or so. It is what you are looking for. There are other brands and methods of packaging but this is easiest to find almost anywhere.

The recipe got its name because as I was playing Sim Cities Societies [I don't do authoritarian well.], I heard this voice from downstairs yell up to me "Don't YOU smell that??!!" Um yeah and your point? I was upstairs eating buttermints to counteract the effect the smell has. The cat was downstairs in front of the stove sniffing and when I went back up to save my game, Sam was at the top of the steps sniffing.

Needless to say the next time I make it? I am making sure they are all out of the house so I can do so in quiet.

Note: I also use the broth as a Gravy [heat and add cornstarch to thicken] and as a base for a soup. Works just fine.

Gluten using Vital Wheat Gluten [like in the box in the bakery section or from Bob's Red Mill or even bulk. Yes the stuff you add to bread to make it rise. It makes Gluten also in a no sweat method[

1/2 cup instant vital wheat gluten flour
1/2 cup water

Stir together [add flavorings if you are adding to the gluten at this stage no I do NOT mean the broth.]and then knead for about 5 minutes.

Makes 2 large or 4 small servings.

The broth that drove the whole house crazy:
2 cups no chicken vegetable broth [see note]
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3 tbsp Braggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried rubbed sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp celery seed [you may want to use less the recipe I modified this from called for 1/4 tsp]

Put in pan. Cut seitan as desired and place carefully in broth. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer. Let simmer for 50-60 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until broth has reduced.

To make chewier [which let me tell you, you might not want it any chewier. The above is chewy. ] Bake at 350F in sprayed pan for 30 minutes.

Makes 2 large or 4 small servings.

NOTE: No Chicken Broth is a name for a light vegetable broth with chicken style seasonings in. From Imagine Soups. It is also Organic. http://www.imaginefoods.com/
Any good light vegetable broth using those seasonings will work.

I like this because it is firm, chewy like a good caramel and doesn't crumble.
