Seitan--A Versatile Veg. staple

Protein: Seitan
From: Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten package

This is a staple of our diet. 80% protein. It's delicious and great in tacos, stir frys, with peanut sauce, and I'm still exploring other possibilities.

The recipe is straight from the package of Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten (which has a higher protein content than some other brands and is sold conveniently in Whole Foods). The only modification is is the browning in oil at the end (thank you again, Connie!!)

2 cups Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten
1/2 tsp. Marjoram
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 cups Water

Broth:
6 cups water
2 Tbsp. Molassas
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce

Bring broth to a boil in a large stock pot. Separately, mix together the gluten flour and spices. Add water to the mixture and stir into a sponge-like dough (if dough is dripping wet, add more gluten flour). Knead dough a minute to make dough tougher and more elastic. Cut or tear into 2"x2" pieces and place into boiling broth. Cook in broth for ~1 hour, lowering heat as needed. Drain and then brown the pieces in olive oil in a pan or skillet.
