Ingredients
- 1 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 0.75 cup Water
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup Vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, liquid smoke, and water.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a medallion.
Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add the medallions to the broth and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes.
While the medallions simmer, prepare the garlic herb butter. In a small bowl, mix the vegan butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Once the medallions are cooked, remove them from the broth and pat them dry.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the medallions for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Top each medallion with a spoonful of garlic herb butter and allow it to melt slightly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
