Seitan Sausages

It is a nice rainy day and we have today off! I thought I would post one of my favorite recipes.. Seitan Sausages.  This makes about 20 sausage size pieces and takes about and an hour and a half from start to finish.

They are totally worth the wait.

And, they freeze well. They don't usually last that long for us though.

Seitan Sausages

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten powder

1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tsp thyme

1 - 1 1/2 tsps cayenne pepper

1 tsps sage 

1 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 tsps salt

1 1/4 cups water

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients (except water) in a bowl.  We have put it in a mixer and done it by hand and we think it tastes better by hand.

2. Add water

3. It will be damp and a little hard to manage.  It springs back pretty easy. Try to roll it into a long log, flatten a little and use a bench scraper or knife to cut thin sausage size pieces.(approx 20 pieces) This part is tedious, but necessary: Roll each sausage into parchment paper to keep shape and then into aluminum foil. 

4. Steam at medium low heat about 1 hour to cook them.  

5.  At this point you can fry the ones you want on a pan with a little oil and put the rest in a bag and put in fridge. (Make sure you let them cool first)

These are delicious.

Really.

When my husband first started going vegan, this is what we started with and he loved them!

Good luck!

I will make them again and put up some pictures very soon.
