SLOW COOKER VERSATILE SEITAN BALLS

SLOW COOKER VERSATILE SEITAN BALLS

SERVES 3 CUPS OR 34 BALLS

  • 1 1⁄2 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1⁄2 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 tbsp mushroom powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1⁄2 tsp onion powder
  • 1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1⁄4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground sage
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 1⁄2 cups vegetable broth, divided

    Calories: 38kcal
    Fat: 0.5g (0.1g S.Fat)
    Carbs: 3.3g
    Protein: 5.1g
    Sugar: 0.6g
    Sodium: 179mg

    METHOD

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten, flour, mushroom powder, oregano, onion and garlic powders, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, sage, and salt.

    Put 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water, liquid smoke, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth in a small bowl Combine thoroughly.

    Fill a well in the center of the dry ingredients with the tomato sauce mixture. Begin kneading after thoroughly mixing. Knead the dough for 1 minute, or until it becomes mildly elastic. The dough will slightly pull back as you knead it, and it will be a little sticky. Fill the slow cooker with the remaining 14 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup vegetable broth, and 3 cups water. Stir.

    Tear off small chunks of dough, shape into a round shape, and drop into the slow cooker's liquid. There will be a total of forty-four balls. You can also make seventeen larger balls and cut them after they've been cooked and cooled. Alternatively, cut two logs into desired shapes. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, covered. As they cook, they will expand in size. Check the texture after 4 hours to see if you like it. As they sit in the refrigerator, they will firm up.

    Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
