SEITAN CHORIZO CRUMBLES
From: 500 Vegan Recipes. Quick, simple, and so easy to throw together on a weeknight! Many of the wonderful vegan chorizo recipes I've tried need to be prepared, kneaded, and then steamed for 30-40 minutes, so this is a nice quick way to add a little spicy flair to your dishes. Throw some of these crumbles in with your beans and rice, chilli, tacos or tofu scrambles. They are also great as a topping for a "taco" pizza, or mixed into cheesy pasta for a 'Chilli Mac' type dish.

SEITAN CHORIZO
The ingredient list is long, but the spices come together quickly. It probably seems like a lot of heat but after you mix it in the with other ingredients, it tones down a lot. You may even want to add more spice! Vital wheat gluten is the protein found in wheat. It is the base for seitan, and can be found at Whole Foods and other heath food stores. You can also order online through places like Bob's Red Mill. I get it at Ingles and Walmart. When you wrap them to bake, be careful not to get them too tight. This seitan version of chorizo is just as good as the "real" thing. I actually prefer it because it isn't so greasy. Not to mention the nutritionals are a million times better. From Sprint2thetable.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, stir together garlic, cilantro, and liquids.
- In a large bowl, stir together all dry ingredients. Add the wet to the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
- Knead dough for 2-3 mins, then let rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pre-heat oven to 350*F. Tear apart 4 squares of aluminum foil (approximately 8 inches long).
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and form logs on each of the foil pieces. Roll them long-ways, twisting the ends to firmly secure the logs. (Note: Do not to wrap too tight in case of an expansion/explosion.).
- Place the wraps on a baking sheet and cook for 60-75 minutes They will feel more firm when you remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for at least 40 mins, or overnight. (I recommend overnight - it firms up in the fridge and the flavors come together nicely.).
- Makes 4 sausages, or 8 servings.
Tips:
- To make gluten-free seitan chorizo crumbles, use gluten-free soy sauce and tamari in the marinade.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the onion and garlic by hand.
- Be sure to drain the seitan well before marinating it, or the marinade will be too watery.
- The longer you marinate the seitan, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate it for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When cooking the seitan chorizo crumbles, be sure to brown them well. This will help develop their flavor and give them a crispy texture.
- Seitan chorizo crumbles can be used in a variety of dishes. Try them in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or as a topping for nachos or pizza.
