How to make Gluten or Seitan. It is a handy subsitute for meat and tastes very good when properly prepared. From Orinsh's
Eat More, Weigh Less. Recipe by Victor Karpenko originally.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups gluten flour
1/4 teaspoon herbs, assorted, see note
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup water
1 cup onions, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
Procedure:
1. Note: herbs can be such as oregnao, sage, thyme and the like. You can vary this to make various flavors of gluten.
2. Combine the first three ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce with the water then add
to the first three ingedients, slowly mixing with a wooden spoon. You should get a ball like a dough ball. Dust a board with
Gluten Flour and turn all onto it then knead it for at least three to five minutes.
3. Now Rinse under cold water. NO not on the board. Take it off the board before rinsing. Use fingers to work free
any bran and starch in the dough. Water should be cloudy when rinsing.
4. Form a 2 inch roll in diameter. Slice, gently.
5. In a large pan, boil 3 qts water with the last four. Gently lower the gluten in one at a time and simmer for 20
minutes. They should rise to the top. Drain and save the stock. Slice into 1/4 inch strips. Cover with enough stock to prevent
them from drying out. Refrigerate and covered with the liquid for up to a week.
6. Serving size is 1/2 cup.
7. Note the number of servings on this is a guess.
