Slow Cooker Log For Thin Slices And Crumbles

Slow Cooker Log For Thin Slices And Crumbles Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 6 hours

Ingredients

1¼ cups vital wheat gluten

¼ cup chickpea flour

1 tablespoon mushroom powder

2 tablespoon nutritional yeast

½ teaspoon ground sage

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

¾ cup tomato sauce

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 cups vegetable broth

¼ cup tomato sauce

Instructions

1Add the gluten, flour, mushroom powder, nutritional yeast, sage, salt, and garlic and onion powders to a large bowl.

2Mix tomato sauce, tomato paste, and ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.

3Mix and then knead for about 2 to 3 minutes or until mildly elastic. You will see the dough slightly pull back as you are kneading and it will be a bit sticky. Shape the seitan into a log.

4Pour 1 cup water, the vegetable broth, and tomato sauce into a 2½- to 3-quart slow cooker. Place the log in the slow cooker or roll loosely in cheesecloth and tie each end with cotton string. It does expand when cooking, so you shouldn’t roll it tight. If you don’t care that the outside is a bit lumpier after being cooked, then don’t bother to roll in cheesecloth. Cover slow cooker and turn to low. Cook on low for 6 hours.

5Remove the log from the liquid and place aside to cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for 4 months.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
