Since last week I have really felt really put off by meat… So last week my meal plan involved more veggie meal than meat based ones and this week they are all veggie based…
Yesterday when making my meal plan I looked over a few YouTube videos on how to make Seitan… and having Vital Wheat Gluten already in my cupboard today I decided to try it out and make some Seitan Souvlaki…
So I put about 1 1/2 cups of gluten in a bowl with nutritional yeast, a bit of flour and a few spices
Added Broth (water, tamari and spices)
Knead together and let rest…
Boil in Broth and simmer for an hour…
It doubles in size and looks… well… a little like a brain…
Took it out of the broth and patted it dry…
and then I cut it in bite size pieces and marinated it in a bit of oil, lemon juice, garlic, tamari and oregano for a few hours… and then took it out and placed it on a baking sheet…
Then Broiled it for about 10 min…
It turned out really good!!
I made some Tzatziki with some homemade yogourt that I drained a bit before mixing with drained shredded cucumber, garlic, salt and a bit of dill… and then served it on a pita…
I really liked the texture, especially after broiling, and the broiling added a bit of crunch like when you BBQ…. Simon and the kids liked it also…. So I think that I will be trying out different ways to eat it…
Oh. My. Gawd. That looks so delicious. I love glutens! It would be wrong not to say Bo Kong in this comment though. Sorry.
I am so making this.
That sounds sooo much easier than the way I did it, lol. I didn’t have the gluten so I just used flour and water and rinsed and rinsed and rinsed. It made a mess but it was sooo yummie!!!
Okay, I can’t hold back anymore. I have to say it. Think SNL.
Could it be…. Sa-tan….?

lol… that is great…
I have made it the rinsing way, too. This sounds WAY easier!
This was so good. I’m going to have to post my pictures if they turned out.
