Quantity of Ingredients: [“1 cup vital wheat gluten”,”2 tablespoons nutritional yeast”,”1/2 teaspoon garlic powder”,”1/4 teaspoon paprika”,”3/4 cup vegetable broth”,”1 tablespoon peanut butter”,”1 tablespoon olive oil”]
Number of Servings: 6
Steps: [‘Preheat oven to 350 degrees.’, ‘Combine the vital wheat gluten flour, nutritional yeast, and spices.’, ‘Mix the broth, olive oil, and peanut butter. You could substitute another nut butter like tahini.’, ‘Mix the brothy mixture into the flour mixture. Knead it a little bit with your hands briefly (around 30 seconds.).’, ‘Spray a glass dish with cooking spray. Rip off chunks from the doughy mixture and flatten them out with your hands in the dish to the size and shape that you want. These aren’t going to shrink or expand much when cooking. The pieces should be pretty easy to work with, and consistency-wise should feel more like something between paste and putty. They will be somewhat fragile, but the baking will help firm this up. Assuming your oven is up to temperature already, slide this in to begin baking.’, ‘After around 10 minutes, take them out to check on them. You want to be able to slide a spatula cleanly under them without the pieces sticking. This might take closer to 15 minutes, depending on your oven. Flip the pieces over with a spatula. The pieces should be glistening – not dry. If they look dry, add a little bit of broth (or some water with tamari or soy sauce.).’, ‘After about 10 minutes, they should be ready. At this time you could sprinkle some seasonings on if you want. At this point, you could use them however you’d like – slice into strips for stir-fries, pile onto bread for a nice sandwich, or batter and fry them.’]
