This is the basic form of homemade gluten. A perfect substitute for meat that can be flavored beef, chicken or pork. Once initially cooked it can be ground, sliced or cubed to use as you wish. My Mother made this when she was a missionary in Africa and I have made this several times and it is quite tasty when sliced, egg wash and bread crumbs then fried like a pork chop.
Ingredients
- 8 lbs High gluten flour shopping list
- 12 cups water (approx) shopping list
How to make it
- Mix together to form a stiff dough.
- Knead 5-10 min. until stiff and elastic.
- Cover with water and let soak 2 hours (or overnight).
- Wash starch out of dough by working the dough in water, and changing the water several times until the water is almost clear.
- Flatten the gluten with hands.
- Roll tightly into a “log” shape and encase in cheese cloth.
- Cover with water and boil for one hour.
- Drain and let cool.
- Drain and let cool.
- Makes about 2 lbs. of gluten.
- You can flavor by adding Lipton Onion Soup mix to the water you boil in. You can also flavor by adding McKays Beef Seasoning, McKays Chicken Seasong or McKays Pork Seasoning. (These are vegetarian meat flavorings available in some health food stores or by ordering online.)
- This keeps well if covered with liquid and covered in the refridgerator for at least 1 week.
