Brooke's Slow Cooker Salsa Seitan

Homemade seitan is mixed from vital wheat gluten, kneaded into a dough, then torn into chunks and slow cooked in salsa until tender. It keeps well in the fridge, so it works for meal prep.

Method

  1. 1

    Combine vital wheat gluten with the nutritional yeast, onion powder and smoked paprika in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk the broth, liquid aminos and olive oil together in a separate bowl.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork. It will clump and stick together.

  4. 4

    Knead the mixture with your hands into a dough.

  5. 5

    Pour half of the salsa into the slow cooker.

  6. 6

    Tear the dough into olive-sized chunks and layer half of them on top of the salsa.

  7. 7

    Pour the rest of the salsa over the top and add the remaining chunks.

  8. 8

    Cook on high for 1 to 2 hours until the seitan is tender, stirring once about halfway through.

  9. 9

    Serve warm, or portion into containers for the week.

Good to know
  • Tear the chunks small so they cook through evenly.
  • Keeps in the fridge for several days.
