Now we’re cooking
Posted in veggie food on 11/29/2009 04:13 pm by karenWhen The Cop is at work, so not subject to the meals I cook, I make things he doesn’t like and text him to tell him about it. Today, I’m using a new cookbook (Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker). Yes, a crockpot.
And I’m not sure how I got interested in this, but I also managed to find a recipe for making seitan from scratch. It’s super easy, particularly with the KitchenAid mixer.
Quick Homemade Gluten
(Makes 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds or 2 to 2-1/2 cups)
2 cups gluten flour
1-1/4 cups water or vegetable stock
3 Tablespoons Tamari
Add liquids to flour mixture all at once. Knead with KitchenAid bread hook for 5 minutes.
Let dough rest 15 minutes before proceeding.
Cut gluten into 8 pieces and stretch into thin cutlets. Simmer in broth for 50 minutes.
Broth:
4 cups water
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
Bring broth to a boil. Add cutlets one at a time. Reduce heat to barely simmer when saucepan is covered.
