Seitan

It is also called wheat meat. It is one of the varieties of fake meat that you can get these days. Seitan is made from wheat gluten. A lot of recipes of seitan are also available on the web. This was my first attempt of making it at home. It turned out pretty well. It does sound a bit difficult and the process might seem lengthy, but with the right tools it can be pretty easy. I used my kitchen aid mixer and it was reasonably easy with this. It might be a little more strenuous if one had to make it by hand.

As it was my very first attempt, I am not posting the recipe yet. I did try a combination of a couple of recipes and intend to make some more changes the next time. Once I am satisfied with how it turns out I will post the recipe.

When it comes to taste I have to admit I did not notice much difference in taste between seitan and soy nuggets. I guess both are tasteless and take on the flavors that one puts in them while cooking.
