HOMEMADE SEITAN BARBECUE (BBQ) RIBS - VEGAN



Homemade Seitan Barbecue (Bbq) Ribs - Vegan image

This is an original recipe by Susan V from fatfreevegan.com. It's so easy to make and incredibly yummy! You can buy Vital Wheat Gluten at most grocery stores (look for Bob's Red Mill). I did not have nutritional yeast so I omitted this ingredient with no lack of taste. These were "grilled" on a griddle and it worked out great. My meat eater hubby loved it as did the kids. Check out http://everydaydish.tv/cookingshow_video.html for a video on how to make this. (it's under Susan's Ribz).

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons paprika (smoked Spanish)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut butter, tahini, cashew)
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with canola oil.
  • Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
  • Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces.
  • Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it's cooking prepare your grill pan or grill.
  • Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill pan or grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce.
  • Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn't burn. When sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.

BBQ FLAVORED SEITAN



BBQ Flavored Seitan image

I wanted to make more a BBQ type seitan after the success of my spicy seitan, so I made a few modifications to my original recipe and came up with this. I also made BBQ sauce for the first time and it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't really keep track of measurements, so I won't be posting that recipe right away. Also, if you're making this on a large scale (the first time I made this I actually octupled the recipe) you're probably going to need to add more of the liquid ingredients (maybe 1 to 2 cups more of the mixture). You want the seitan to feel similar to a wet sponge. Just like with my other seitan, how long you cook it will effect how hard or soft it is. Personally, I like this kind to be sort of like lunch meat, so I've included the times for making it a nice, soild, meat substitute. If you think you've over cooked it (it gets really browned), don't worry. Let it cool and bake it or fry it up later. The "skin" will soften when it's reheated.

2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 cup water
4 tablespoons tomato paste
4 tablespoons canola oil or 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon tamari or 1 tablespoon Braggs liquid aminos
2 teaspoons molasses
1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Steps:

  • Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
  • Add wet mixture to dry ingredients (I find pouring it along the edges of the dry mixture helpful).
  • Mix and knead the dough thoroughly.
  • Shape into an 8 inch (or so) loaf.
  • Place the loaf in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Tightly wrap loaf in foil like a sausage, twisting the ends.

  • Place loaf in pan or on baking sheet and bake for another 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right seitan: Look for seitan that is firm and has a slightly chewy texture. Avoid seitan that is too soft or mushy.
  • Marinate the seitan: Marinating the seitan in a flavorful sauce or marinade will help to add flavor and moisture. You can use any type of marinade you like, but be sure to let the seitan marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the seitan properly: Seitan can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common methods are grilling, pan-frying, and baking. Be sure to cook the seitan until it is heated through and slightly charred on the outside.
  • Serve the seitan with your favorite sides: Seitan is a versatile ingredient that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, and coleslaw.

Conclusion:

BBQ-flavored seitan is a delicious and versatile plant-based protein that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
