Seitan – Sweet & Spicy Glaze

Always wanted to make Roasted Seitan??? You are in the right place, as this is a great easy to follow the recipe and you will love it!

Hi Everyone,

In this post I am showing you how to make Roasted Seitan with Sweet and Spicy glazing – It can be eaten hot as part of the main course or cold as part of a sandwich – and both options are phenomenal!

To start off you will need to make a dry mixture so place the following ingredients into a bowl:
– 300g of vital gluten
– 250g of Gram (chickpea) flour
– 1,5 tbsp of garlic & 1,5 tbsp of onion powder
– 3 tbsp of nutritional yeast
– 1,5 tbsp of dried paprika
– 1 tbsp of cajun seasoning
– 1 tsp of cayenne pepper
– 2,5 tsp of salt

Mix all the ingredients together and start preparing the liquid component – place the following ingredients into a jug:
– 1,5 vegetable stock cube
– 2 tsp of soy sauce
– 3 tbsp of maple syrup

Top it up with a pint of hot water and mix it together and then add it to the dry mixture.
Knead the dough until it all combines nicely.

Now you will need another liquid component where the Seitan will be roasting in, which will eventually become a glaze once it thickens up.
The ingredients are as follow:
– 1,5 vegetable stock cube
– 1 tbsp of dried paprika & 1 tbsp of chili flakes
– 2 tsp of pepper
– 2 tbsp of brown sugar
– 3 tbsp of maple syrup
– a bunch of fresh thyme

Top it up again with a pint of hot water and mix together (that should be enough liquid to cover about half of the seitan).
Pour it into a baking tray and then shape the seitan into a few pieces and put them into the liquid.

Bake it in the oven for 45-55 minutes at 200°C (390°F) while turning the seitan over every 15 minutes – once the liquid reduces, brush the seitan over with the remaining liquid.

Cut it and serve it – Enjoy!

Vegan Sausages

Did you know that sausages can be made vegan, and extremely delicious at the same time? Well, they can! Check out my recipe today!

Today I am going to make yummy vegan sausages!

INGREDIENTS:
– 200g of sweet potatoes (peeled)
– 1 can of red kidney beans
– 40g of green lentils
– 40g of mixed quinoa (cook both for 10 min once up to boiling)
– 2 tsp of salt
– 2 tsp of pepper
– 1,5 tsp of dried paprika
– 1,5 tsp of garlic powder
– 1,5 tsp of onion powder
– 2,5 tbsp of nutritional yeast
– 2 tbsp of tomato paste
– 150g of vital gluten flour

PREPARATION:

To start off, cook the sweet potatoes (they will need about 8-10 min once the water is boiling), and also cook the lentils and quinoa (for 10 minutes once the water is boiling).
Place the beans into your blender with about half of the liquid out of the can together with the sweet potato and blend it well!
Once done, place the mixture into a bowl and add all the rest of the ingredients besides vital gluten flour and mix it well
Now you can add the flour and kneed it until it nicely incorporates.

The next step is to wrap them tightly into some cling film – you will see this step best in the video itself!

Leave them in the fridge for at least 1 hour, then you can unwrap them and put them into a preheated oven on 140 – 160C for about 20-25 minutes (turn them over after 10 minutes)

To get and extra crispy skin, you can dissolve some sodium alginate in water with a bit of sugar and dip the sausages in it before cooking.

Enjoy!
