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!

Jackfruit ”Tuna” Salad

Are you craving a tuna salad while being vegan? It can still be done, and you will need jackfruit! Check out and make it yourself!

Hi Everyone,

In this post, I will show you how to make a great jackfruit ‘tuna’ salad that is done in only 15 minutes! I’ve been using homemade vegan mayonnaise. You can check the recipe on my Webpage or on my YouTube channel.

INGREDIENTS:
– a can of young jackfruit
– 1 tsp of salt & 2 tsp of seaweed
– 1 tsp of pepper
– 1,5 tsp of mustard
– 1 tbsp of vegan butter
– 2 tbsp of vegan cream cheese (I used Violife)
– 4 tbsp of vegan mayonnaise
– 1 celery stick
– 2-3 pickled gherkins
– 80g of sweetcorn (half of a small can)

PREPARATION:

To start off, get the jackfruit ready for your salad – take out the pits and separate it (the same way as when making pulled jackfruit).

Now mix up the following: Mayo, cream cheese, butter, mustard, salt, pepper, and seaweed – mix it all well together and add it to the jackfruit.

Now fine chop the celery & gherkins, and add them together with the sweetcorn to the jackfruit – mix it all well together!

Chill the salad in the fridge and you are ready to serve!

Enjoy!
