Apple Sage Smoked Vegan Brats

No beer!  Not this round.

I found a wonderful young vegan chef over on YouTube: Chef Ani

I watched her video, and began to assemble the ingredients and coordinate any modifications.

The actual recipe is here: Vegan Sausage

---

The recipe made 11, 3.4 oz sausages.  I used my glass cutting board, placing a taped paper guide forming a six inch open rule.  This was to maintain uniformity throughout the entire batch.

My high pressure steamer was set 'high' for '90 minutes'.  This steamer pot comes with a wire rack and I love it because I can steam without the food logging in the water.  I will do with a natural release!

Carne-Less Asada Fries (Vegetarian Flank Steak)

seitan beef strips
onion
green pepper ( or any peppers you choose )
cucumber
carrots
tomato
salt
pepper
taco seasoning
avocado dressing
french fries
cheddar cheese
taco blend cheese


Slice your seitan into thin strips or dice if you choose.  Saute over onions and your favorite seasons while your french fries are air frying.  Dress your baking dish with french fries, topped with some cheese, then add your sauteed seitan.  Top with the rest of your veggies (diced or chopped).  Sprinkle cheese on top and cover, heat to melt cheese in a convection oven.  Remove.  Top with Avocado Dressing.

Rediscovering Vital Wheat Gluten

If you are wheat sensitive, this post is not for you or you may substitute for tofu, if you fancy it.

I fortunately affirm that I have a tolerance for these processed plants, and lately some interesting ideas have come out of using them.  First, in this post, I dedicate to Vital Wheat Gluten.

A couple of months ago, I purchased a bag of Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten for the purpose of making Seitan.  When I originally tried it, the preparation did not agree with me.  I hated the flavor suggestions.  I swore I would never venture that way again.

But a friend who flexes vegetarian inspired me to take another shot at it.  If a family that stumps for meat can love Seitan, why can't I?  And so I drilled up the courage to make last Sunday the day.  Let me tell you, the ideas have gone through the roof.

The bag has instructions and you should follow them.  In terms of savory seasoning, go with your own taste. 

I did a bang up job.  I left out the once suggested 'liquid smoke' (yuck) and stuck with my homemade broth with some store bought included. 

I increased the kneading time as well as the boil.  I had everything from a stir fry, to nuggets, to a steak sandwich!

I still have more left.  I will follow the instructions for storing it.  In the meantime, I plan to continue exploring Seitan.
