SPICY SEITAN SUMMER SAUSAGE



Spicy Seitan Summer Sausage image

This vegetarian "sausage" has a similar texture and flavor to a hard salami/summer sausage. It's a seasoned seitan log made with wheat gluten. You can usually find vital wheat gluten "flour" in the bulk section of Whole Foods® grocery stores. I like to cut it into slices and serve it on butter crackers with slices of cheese. You can also use it in sandwiches or cut it up to use in other recipes that call for meat. Can be eaten warm or cold. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers.

SPICY SEITAN

This is the seitan recipe I came up with after looking at two fairly popular recipes (http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/06/veggie-lunch-meat.html and http://www.postpunkkitchen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15959&p=1). This recipe makes a nice sized (7 to 8 inches I suppose) sausage like loaf and can probably be easily changed to your taste based on what spices you use. Note: if you want it to be more like the former recipe (like lunch meat) cook it longer (30-45 mins steaming, 45 mins baking), if you're looking for a nice ground beef substitute 30-35 mins steaming, then another 30-35 mins baking is better. I've used the longer cooked seitan in stuffing and the lesser cooked in dirty rice. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all involved! I hope you enjoy it too!
