Seitan “Ham”

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) tapioca flour
  • ¼ cup (30g) chickpea flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon bacon seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) organic brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) tahini
  • ½ tablespoon (7ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoons (7ml) olive oil
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable broth

Brown Sugar Maple Glaze

  • 1 teaspoon (5g) mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (24g) organic brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (22ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (3g) olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon bacon seasoning

Other

  • ½ orange cut into slices
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine all the seitan dry ingredients. Mix well with a fork.
  • Add all the wet ingredients except the vegetable broth. Slowly, add the vegetable broth in. Start with half and then mix. Then continue to add until it reaches a crumbly texture that no longer looks dry. PLEASE NOTE: you will not need to use all the vegetable broth. My exact measurement both times I made it was 93 ml (⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon).
  • Knead the seitan dough either by hand or in a stand mixer for 10 minutes. Once it is formed into a dough shape into a long cylinder.
  • Bring a large pot of water with any remaining vegetable broth and at least 3 cups (750ml) water to a boil. Once boiling reduce to a simmer and carefully place in the seitan and simmer for 55 minutes. Cover with a lid and leave it slightly vented.
  • Once there is about 15 minutes left for the seitan to simmer preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • Then prepare the glaze by adding all ingredients to a small bow and mixing together.
  • Add the orange slices and rosemary to a small baking dish.
  • When the seitan is done simmering carefully remove it with tongs from the pot. Use a sharp knife to gently score the top with diagonal cuts.
  • Place the seitan on top of the oranges in the baking dish. Brush with glaze, leave a little bit for brushing once the vegan ham is done.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. When done the score marks will have opened up and the vegan ham should have a dry appearance.
  • Brush the remaining glaze over the vegan ham and slice.
