A vegan roast that you can actually carve! This seitan roast is smoky, tender and full of flavour. It's the perfect addition to any roast or festive occasion.
Ingredients
- 125 g Cooked Chickpeas
- 4 Cloves Garlic peeled
- 1 Medium Onion peeled and halved
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Liquid Smoke you can use marmite if you don't have liquid smoke
- 260 g Vital Wheat Gluten
- 45 g Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Sage finely chopped
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Thyme stems removed and finely chopped
- 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin
- 340 ml Vegetable Stock
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180˚c/350˚f (fan oven).
- Combine the chickpeas, garlic, onion, soy sauce, liquid smoke and olive oil in a food processor. Whizz into an even paste.
- In a large mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients: the wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, sage, thyme, paprika and cumin.
- Mix in the chickpea paste into the dry ingredients. Then pour over the vegetable stock and combine into a wet dough. Knead the dough in the bowl for 10 minutes until it becomes firmer and less wet.
- Roll the dough into a log about the thickness of a bunched fist. Wrap the log in grease proof baking paper and then tin foil. Place on a baking tray and put in the oven. Cook for 1 hour, turning the seitan onto the opposite side halfway through.
- Once baked remove the baking paper and foil. Use a sharp knife to slice into thick ovals. Serve with generous lashings of gravy.
