Cutlets

“Egg” Wash

Breading

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • Prepare seitan by adding mashed cannellini beans, seasonings, and vital wheat gluten together in a large bowl.
  • Add in the vegetable broth and mix together until it becomes clumpy. Eventually you will need to knead the dough with your hands for 3 to 5 minutes. The dough should be sticky and stay together. Form it into a rounded loaf shape.
  • Cut the loaf into 4 pieces and then roll the dough out into a chicken cutlet shape. I prefer to make mine very thin but you can make it to your desired thickness. As they steam they will plump up a bit as well.
  • Once they are rolled out steam them for 20 minutes. You can do this with a steamer basket or by placing a strainer over a large pot with about an inch of water. Place it on a low heat and cover. You may need to add more water as it cooks.
  • While the seitan steams preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Prepare breadcrumbs by adding all ingredients to a large shallow bowl or big dish and mixing. Prepare chickpea egg by adding the ingredients into a large shallow bowl and mixing.
  • Once seitan is steamed allow to cool for a minute as it will be very hot. Place it into the batter and allow the excess to drip off then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat with all the cutlets.
  • Place on a large baking pan. Spray both sides of each cutlet with spray oil if you like. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Once they are done sprinkle with sea salt if desired and enjoy.
