Directions:

  1. So to make the roast, we’re first going to add 240 g or about 2 cups of vital wheat gluten into a mixing bowl.

  2. Next, we’ll add:

    • 6 grams of nutritional yeast or about 4 teaspoons

    • 1/2 tsp of paprika

    • 1/2 tsp of ground coriander

    • 1/2 tsp of poultry seasoning

    • 1/2 tsp of thyme

    • And 1 tsp of black pepper

  3. Using a fork, mix the dry ingredients thoroughly into the vital wheat gluten

  4. Next, in a small mixing cup, measure out:

    • 240ml of water

    •  9g or 1 cube of vegan  “Not Chick’n Bouillon Cubes”

    • and 2 tsp of Liquid Smoke

    • Mix these ingredients until the bouillon cube is dissolved

  5. Once dissolved, add the mixed liquid to the vital wheat gluten mixture.

  6. Gently stir this mixture until it becomes a ball

    • We don’t want the ball to be super dry  so add 10-15 ml more water if necessary

  7. Then let the ball REST on a counter for 30 minutes 

    • This will help the vital wheat gluten develop protein strands

  8. Next, we’re going to squeeze the ball into two 10-12” long cylinders and tie them each into a single knot  

    • Try to avoid tearing the strands while stretching

  9. Then In a medium size saucepan, add water until it reaches 1/2 of an inch in depth. 

  10. We’ll then add 2 tbsp of Garlic Powder and 4.5g or about ½ cube of “Not Chik’n Bouillon Cube’” to the water.

  11. Once the water is seasoned, we’re going to “Water Saute” the roast with the lid on for 1 hour on a medium-mild boil

  12. Keep an eye on the water level throughout cooking and add more if needed.

  13. Once finished, we highly recommend letting the roast cool and storing it  overnight in foil to increase the density

  14. To reheat: Air Fry for 6-8 minutes until desired outside crispness.
