Hail Seitan! Part 3. Cutlets FAT FREE Cooked Vegan Recipe! Wheat Meat

Working from a recipe that I found here.

I used
1 cup gluten flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika (optional. I added it for color, mostly. It adds a little bit of a mild spicy flavor)
3/4 cup water

Mix dry ingredients and add water. Stir until a nice lump forms.















It don't take long. Let it set a minute or two then knead it for a minute or two. Let it set again while you heat about 4 cups of broth or water in a large sauce pan.*

When the broth or water is simmering cut the dough into eight equal pieces and form into round patties or "cutlets"















Four of the eight cutlets, before forming.


A patty, or cutlet.












They shrink up when you let them set. I put them in the hot water as soon as possible and they swell once they get in there, so use a BIG sauce pan and at least 4 cups of broth or water.

Gently drop each one at a time into the water and simmer with a lid on for 1 hour 15 minutes.

















I will update with photos of the finished product later!!


Footnotes:
*I made broth this time from frozen vegetable juice pulp. I heated it in water then strained it and added a tsp of salt.
