Homemade Seitan
- 1 1/3 cups vital wheat gluten
- 1/4 cup garbanzo flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons herbes de provence
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup water
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- In a medium bowl, combine first six ingredients. Stir in water until combined.
- Knead dough for 5 minutes (you can do this in the bowl. No extra flour is necessary, as this stuff won't really stick).
- Chop dough into 1-inch pieces (I tore off sections, rolled them into a log, and chopped it from there). Allow pieces to rest for a few minutes.
- Heat broth over stove to a simmer. Add dough pieces one at a time. Cook uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to keep them from sticking. The seitan will swell up, so you can add a little extra water or broth to keep them covered.
- Remove from heat. Drain and fry the seitan with a little olive oil on a pan for a few minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
- If storing, put seitan in air-tight container with enough broth to cover the pieces. Freeze.
