Vegan "Chicken"

Vegan Chicken

This is a work in progress but its tasty. Just because I make fake meats its not because I feel like I need to eat meat (totally the opposite) it's just fun to take VWG, veggies, corn flour and seasonings and actually make something thats amazingly close to a meat product. I think it really clarifys how messed up the food chain is and how unreal most meat products are. My only goal in doing so is to produce a new tasty ingredient that has multiple uses, and helps fulfill nutritional requirements in our diets.

"Chicken"

Just mixed

1/2 cooked lentils
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
3/4 cup mushroom broth +  2 tablespoons almond milk
1/3 cup olive oil
black pepper, garlic, lemon pepper, emerils,
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast



Boil the lentils and sunflower seeds together. Blend with a hand mixer. Mix all dry ingredients together. Combine all ingredients together. Mix till combined and no dry spots.

Simmering Broth

• Miso
• Bay leaves
• Salt
• Garlic
• Mushroom broth
• Soy sauce
• anything else you want

Just removed from the broth... and yes, thats how the bay leaves stuck to the cheesecloth 

unrolled from the cheesecloth

After you combine all ingredients together. Cut off your cheesecloth and flatten out mixture into a oval shape. Wrap up and tie the ends. If you want smaller pieces cut the mix into what ever shape you need ( sandwich slices, chicken nuggets, etc.. and wrap up) add to simmering (seasoned) water. Simmer for 30 minutes or till the "chicken" floats. Let cool and remove. Remove the cheesecloth, lightly oil the pan and add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of the simmering broth. Cover with tin foil and bake @ 350 until the liquid has almost completely boiled away. Uncover and flip the "chicken" add a little more simmering broth and bake it till it starts to lightly brown on each side. Flipping as you need to. 

We had "chicken" fajitas. I will also try deep frying it and will post on 

that also.
