Instructions
- To make seitan base blend all ingredients except vital wheat gluten in a high speed blender until smooth. Add wheat gluten into a bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Pour the wet mixture in.
- Start mixing on low speed to incorporate and then increase the speed and mix for about 12 minutes.
- Take the dough out and give it couple of punches. Form a ball, cover with kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- In a large sauté pan mix all broth ingredients and bring to a boil. Flatten your seitan ball and give it a desired shape. Place into the broth, cover and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
- Very carefully turn seitan and cook for another 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes remove it from the pan and let it cool. At this time you can wrap it in cling film and put in a fridge overnight.
- Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C).
- Blitz all glaze ingredients in a blender or food processor.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper so it can cover the sides too. Place seitan in a middle and put garlic halves, onion and rosemary sprigs around it. Spread some of the glaze on top and put in the oven.
- Roast for 1 1/2 hours, adding more of the glaze mixture every 20-30 minutes.
