Christmas Seitan Log

Christmas Seitan Log

We were having a Christmas get-together with some friends and I thought to do something special for dinner. Upon talking to my mother about Christmas dinner, I thought it’d be funny to have a dinner themed to  Seitan (pronounced Satan) for Christmas.
Anyway, seitan is yummy and it’s fun to try different ways of making it
:)


Ingredients:
1 kg flour
1 cube vegetable stock
Oil
Spices: pepper, cumin, garlic powder (2tsp), curry powder (1 tbsp), oregano, chilli flakes
(to taste, but be liberal)

1. Make seitan as per our recipe here: http://vegannyomnom.blogspot.ie/2012/06/broccoli-seitan-stir-fry-in-ginger.html up to the stage where you’ve it in a ball and ready to be boiled.
2. Cut in two (optional – but only if you’ve got a big enough pot!). We flattened it here somewhat and made it log shaped. You can make it into any shape you want here.  Microwave them for 2mins to remove some water.  Preheat oven to 200°
3. Boil in a pot with 1 cube vegetable stock and the above spices.
4. Put on a baking tray and cover with some oil (enough to cover the top and the bottom of the plate, sprinkle some flour on top of the logs, then the spices. Put in oven for about 1 hour or until browned.

They were lovely! We were trying to figure out how to incorporate stuffing into the recipe, which is hard to do as the shape sets when you boil them and if you try stuff pre boiling…
A challenge for later it seems : )
