I have not made this for awhile and it is a little bit of a pain in the ass, but oh so good!!!



Here is a quick version of my unchuck roast....



After it is all mixed together...





Simmering in the crock pot...





The seitan is absorbing the broth and looking good....





YUM!!!!





and the recipe...



Ellen's Best Unchuck Roast: Rooiboos-simmered Seitan/ Gluten



makes about a 4 pound piece- 16 to 20 servings

Make dough on the dough cycle of a sturdy large automatic bread machine.

Cook covered in 6 quart crockpot on low approximately 6-8 hours. Doubles in size as it cooks.

Place in the bread machine in this order:

2 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten

1/2 cup sesame butter, unhulled (4 ounces)

1/2 cup minute tapioca

1/2 cup Kal nutritional yeast flakes

1/3 cup dried onion flakes

1/2 cup soy flakes (not grits) OR flake tvp/tsp

2 tablespoons Italian herb blend

Mix together and pour on:

1/3 cup vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce

2 cups water

1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice syrup, OPTIONAL

Simmering broth for crockpot:

4-5 cups warm rooiboos tea may substitute Chinese black tea

1/2 cup vegetarian oyster sauce

1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce, OPTIONAL

1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes



Fill the mixing bowl of the bread machine with the dry ingredients, blend and pour on the wet mix and run the dough cycle- two kneads with a long rest in between. When complete, turn out the rather soft dough and knead by stretching and folding at least 6 times, until the piece has strong smooth edges and is the size of the bottom of the 6 quart crock pot- for best cooking and flavor, it should start about 1 inch thick or a little less. Mist with oil spray and let rest while you prepare the crock pot.



Mist the inside of the crockpot with non-stick oil spray. Mix the simmering broth, pour about 1 cup into the pot. Place the roast, pour on the rest of the broth. It should just cover the roast, if not make a little more broth using the same proportions.



Cover and simmer on low about 6 hours, up to 8 if you started cold or it is an old crock pot. Turn once if you are up (I make mine overnight). When done, there is no stretch to the edges, almost all the broth is absorbed.



Cool in the remaining broth, store in a zippered plastic bag with the remaining broth for up to a week. Good hot or cold, can be sliced very thin for sandwiches, pepper steak or fajitas, or cut into chunks for "stewing", or diced or ground for hash, burgers,etc.

I was starving and totally stumped on what to have for lunch. I wanted something quick and easy. Then I remember my mom telling me about her new favorite sandwich. Grilled cheese with jalapenos! So, that is what I made and it was delish! Nice and spicy like I like it too.
