Deli Slices
15 oz of white beans
2 3/4 cups of wheat gluten
2 cups of vegetable broth
1/3 cup of oil
2 tablespoon of sage
2 tablespoon of rosemary
1 tablespoon of cumin
1 tablespoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of crushed chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon of oregano
1 tablespoon of paprika
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
Boil the 2 cups of water.
In a large bowl, mash the beans until they are smooth. Once smooth, add the oil, onion powder, garlic powder, crushed chipotle peppers, sage, salt, rosemary, cumin, oregano, paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper and mix well. Add the boiling vegetable broth and mix again. This should be a very watery deep red color.
Add the wheat gluten and quick and vigorously mix. The mixture will thicken up and become difficult to mix very quickly. Make sure there are no "dry" spots, everything should be moist.
Once the wheat gluten has been mixed in efficiently, dump the gluten mixture onto a cutting board and loosely form into a log shape. The dough should be very moist and slightly oily. Then place it on aluminum foil and roll like a burrito covering all of the dough.
Steam for 1 hour.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove from the steam and place in a baking pan. Bake in the over for about 45 minutes, this will allow the dough to swell and fill out. After the dough has been in the oven for about 25 minutes, flip it to allow even cooking. Allow an hour or so for cooling.
Although this recipe takes awhile to make much of the labor work is very simple and only takes a few minutes. This might be a great recipe to make while doing some housework or watching a basketball game!
