Bbq Flavored Seitan Recipes

HOMEMADE BBQ SEITAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, mix broth/water and low sodium soy sauce.
• Add wet mix to dry mix, stir until combined. Using your hands, knead mixture for 2-3 min, until thick dough forms.
• Shape seitan dough into a ball. Tear small pieces (the size of a quarter) off the big ball. The pieces will get bigger during boiling, so don't make them too big!
• Mix together all broth ingredients. Bring to a boil. Add torn-up seitan, bring to a boil again. Reduce the boil to medium, simmer for 30 min, stirring a few times to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
• Once seitan is done boiling, drain the pieces. Put them into a mixing bowl, pour 3/4 of prepared BBQ sauce over them, toss well to cover.
• Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange BBQ-covered seitan on the sheet with about 1 inch between pieces. Bake for 30 min, turning pieces halfway through baking, and basting with the remaining BBQ sauce if the start looking dry.
• Serve with sweet potato fries, or in a hoagie roll with pickles and mustard, or slice up and toss with pasta.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk well until uniform in texture. Taste and adjust sweet/salty/spicy ingredients to your liking.
• Serve with seitan or other dishes that call for BBQ sauce. This sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.

HOW TO MAKE SEITAN (BEEF FLAVOR)

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. I used my Kitchen Aid and it worked perfectly.
• Using the paddle attachment on the mixer slowly combine the dry ingredients.
• In a smaller bowl combine the wet ingredients and mix well with a whisk.
• Stop the stand mixer and add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once and slowly incorporate the wet into the dry.
• I added about 4 more tablespoons of spelt flour to the mix as I thought it was too wet. Mix for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes turn the dough out onto a cutting board and form it into a loaf shape and let it sit until broth comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to low at this point.
• Cut the loaf into 6 equal pieces and lower each one gently into the simmering broth and let it simmer covered for about 1 hour. Remember DO NOT LET THIS BOIL! It will create holes in your Seitan.
• The Seitan will be spongy and holes will make it even more so. You want to avoid that.
• After the hour is up remove the Seitan from the pot and place on a dish to cool. If you have room in the fridge this would be a good place to cool it down.
• Remember, it has to be thoroughly cooled before its ready. Don't be temped to dig in until it's cold.
• You can use this immediately, or store it in it's broth in the fridge for about 5 days. You can even put the big chunks in a zip lock bag and freeze.
• The Seitan can be used in place of any meat product, you can even grind it in the food processor and use it for burger if you wish.
• Another way to use this is to take a few big pieces and dip in flour, soy milk and bread crumbs and fry or bake it, then top with your favorite gravy.
• Bon Appetit!

BBQ FLAVORED SEITAN

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
• Add wet mixture to dry ingredients (I find pouring it along the edges of the dry mixture helpful).
• Mix and knead the dough thoroughly.
• Shape into an 8 inch (or so) loaf.
• Place the loaf in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Tightly wrap loaf in foil like a sausage, twisting the ends.
• Steam the wrapped loaf for 45 minutes.
• Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
• Place loaf in pan or on baking sheet and bake for another 45 minutes.
• Take out, unwrap, let cool, and enjoy!

HOMEMADE SEITAN BARBECUE (BBQ) RIBS - VEGAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with canola oil.
• Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
• Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces.
• Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it's cooking prepare your grill pan or grill.
• Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill pan or grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce.
• Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn't burn. When sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.
