HOMEMADE BBQ SEITAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, mix broth/water and low sodium soy sauce.
• Add wet mix to dry mix, stir until combined. Using your hands, knead mixture for 2-3 min, until thick dough forms.
• Shape seitan dough into a ball. Tear small pieces (the size of a quarter) off the big ball. The pieces will get bigger during boiling, so don't make them too big!
• Mix together all broth ingredients. Bring to a boil. Add torn-up seitan, bring to a boil again. Reduce the boil to medium, simmer for 30 min, stirring a few times to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
• Once seitan is done boiling, drain the pieces. Put them into a mixing bowl, pour 3/4 of prepared BBQ sauce over them, toss well to cover.
• Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange BBQ-covered seitan on the sheet with about 1 inch between pieces. Bake for 30 min, turning pieces halfway through baking, and basting with the remaining BBQ sauce if the start looking dry.
• Serve with sweet potato fries, or in a hoagie roll with pickles and mustard, or slice up and toss with pasta.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk well until uniform in texture. Taste and adjust sweet/salty/spicy ingredients to your liking.
• Serve with seitan or other dishes that call for BBQ sauce. This sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE SEITAN BARBECUE (BBQ) RIBS - VEGAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with canola oil.
• Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
• Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces.
• Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it's cooking prepare your grill pan or grill.
• Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill pan or grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce.
• Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn't burn. When sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.
