Ingredients
- 400 g tin cannellini beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- Small bunch fresh sage
- 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into a few chunks
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 215 g vital wheat gluten (~ 1 1/2 cups)
- 250 ml vegetable stock (~ 1 cup) - not low-sodium
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- Add the drained cannellini beans to a food processor, along with the garlic, sage, and onion. Blitz to form a chunky paste.
- In a large bowl, combine the bean mixture with the dried oregano, vital wheat gluten, vegetable stock, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to form a dough (don't be worried if it doesn't look too appetising at this stage!).
- Knead the dough for a few minutes - this will help avoid a tough seitan.
- Lightly grease a large piece of kitchen foil, and add the seitan dough. Shape to form a rough sausage, then roll tightly in the foil, and scrunch the ends.
- Place the foil-wrapped seitan roast on a baking tray (make sure to pick it up from underneath so you don't tear the foil), and roast for around 1 hour 20 minutes, until firm.
- Peel back the foil, and slice the seitan roast with a serrated knife. Serve warm.
