Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 pieces seitan steaks
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten and nutritional yeast.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it is elastic and firm.
Shape the dough into 4 equal-sized 'chops' and let them rest for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the herb crust.
Carefully coat each seitan chop with the herb mixture, pressing it into the surface to ensure it sticks well.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the herb-crusted seitan chops on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and firm to the touch.
Remove the seitan chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the vegan grilled herb-crusted lamb chops with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
