Vegan Mofo #3: It’s slowcooker season!
Ah, fall. We’re smack dab in the middle of you and i’m cold and I hate it. The kitchen is especially cold, so now is a good time to utilize my crock pot and spend as little time in there as possible!
The other night, I got it in my head that I wanted seitan roast. Probably because I read about it in Vegan on the Cheap. Not surprisingly, when I googled for seitan roast, Robin Robertson’s blog was one of the first links! I (for once) followed the recipe exactly, in hindsight I wish I had added some chickpea flour to make the seitan not quite so chewy. Mine seemed done in two hours, but I let it go for another 30 minutes to let it get more delicious. (P.S. I realize that these are kind of sucky photos. It was dark!)
Your pictures are lovely! That roast looks heavenly.
my pictures have been not so great. it has been uber cloudy here all November! Your roast looks lovely though! Feel free to make me one!
that roast looks amazing.
What’s going on with that gravy? It looks absolutely delicious!!!!
I have been meaning to try that roast, but have never gotten around to it. If only I had access to a crock pot!
I love the pictures, especially the first one that looks kinda like brains (in a good way, promise).
Awesome looking roast, such great comfort food. I love your piles and piles of waffles too, btw.
Holy Guacamole! This looks like a big ol mess of YUM. Happy MoFo’ing!
I love seitan. I use it on my blog often. Vegan on the cheap is a great resource.
That looks all sorts of delicious. I printed out this recipe a while back and forgot about it. I was kind of afraid it’d be horrible.
ooh. That looks really yummy.
You made that in a slowcooker? Impressive!
I’m a fan of this recipe. I always make the seitan from scratch (from the same cookbook). Last time I wrapped the roast in cheesecloth to give it a tighter texture. Next time I’m going to try to incorporate some okara into it as well.
