Seitan recipes

    Hi, newish vegan here (since April)..
    Does anyone have any good seitan recipes? I tried the method mentioned previously here on boards (making it with Odlum's strong bread flour and washing out the starch) It was surprisingly easy. I made a baked seitan loaf with it last night, tasted nearly exactly like sausage meatloaf.

    Here's the recipe for that:

    1/2 cup butter beans, cooked/canned, drained
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 1/2 tsp veg stock powder
    wheat gluten washed from 1kg Odlum's strong bread flour
    1/3 cup nutritional yeast
    2 tsp crispy onion bits
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp smoked paprika

    Chuck the lot in a bowl, mix together with a hand-held blender (making sure the beans are pureed), knead for a couple of minutes, shape into an oval (use a little extra flour if too wet). Place the loaf on an oiled sheet of foil and enclose it, place in a baking pan with 1 inch water, cover pan with foil, bake for 1 hr 45 mins at 200 C.
    Serve with the usual (mushroom gravy, peas, spuds etc). Tastes just like Granny used to make :pac:

    It was odd because since changing to a vegan diet, I've actually avoided foods that used meat replacements, preferring my vegan food just to taste completely different rather than vaguely the same; the degree to which this did taste similar was uncanny though.
    I'm sure I'll be making other things with seitan (especially as I have meat-loving relatives coming to stay in a couple of weeks), so what else can I do with it??

    Personally I love the seitan BBQ ribs in Vegan Diner by Julie Hasson. There is a very similar recip on the fat free vegan blog though (http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/05/barbecued-seitan-ribz.html).

    There are also a ton of other seitan recipes there that I can't wait to try - just search for recipes using the search box in the right hand column.

    And I too used to poo-poo meat substitutes until I started making my own. I think I just find it more satisfying and comforting to know exactly what went into and happened to the non-meat I've made myself.
