Spicy Sweet Seitan Sausage (Vegetarian)

This is a sweet and plumpy sausage substitute. The quantities are all approximate, but a best-guess for getting the right consistency and flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 3.5 cups wheat gluten
  • 1/2 cup teff flour
  • 1/2 cup white flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/5 cup sugar
  • 4 tbls of ground fennel seed
  • 2 tbls red pepper flakes
  • Onion powder, Garlic powder, Sage, Hungarian Paprika, coriander to taste (but go heavy.)
  • Nutmeg, ground caraway, thyme to taste (go lighter.)
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup tamari
  • 1 cup water

    • Fortunately, teff doesn't require much in the way of kneading, so it'll give you a break in comparison to pure wheat.
