I'm not vegan, I'm just trying to get through my 4 lb bag of Vital Wheat Gluten without baking enough bread to feed an entire village. This meatless protein option is a great way to mix it up, and can be used in any way you would typically use ground meat. Mix it into a rice and vegetable bowl, serve a sauce over it with vegetables, make tacos, the possibilities are endless.

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine together dry ingredients

vital wheat gluten1 cup

nutritional yeast¼ cup

chili powder2 tsp

paprika2 tsp

onion powder1 tsp

black pepper1 tsp

salt½ tsp

Step 2

In a mason jar, add the wet ingredients, cover, and shake. Pour into the dry bowl, and mix to form a dough

vegetable broth¾ cup

low sodium soy sauce30g

Step 3

Knead in the bowl for a few minutes, or until the dough becomes elastic. Shape into a large ball

Step 4

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Here, I used broth, and it was too salty. Don't make the same mistake, cook it in water

water960g

Step 5

Break the dough into smaller "meat" balls, so that way they're submerged in the pot. Reduce to medium heat, cover, and cook for about 45 minutes, mashing occasionally with a wooden spoon. Most of the water will have cooked off

Step 6

When done cooking, remove from the pot and let it cool. You should now have a ground meat substitute that can be used in place of meat in most recipes
