BBQ ‘Ribs’ to Die For (That No One Had to Die For)

Print

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp. tahini or nut butter
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos
  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke (optional)
  • 1 cup your favorite vegan barbecue sauce (try Annie’s Original or Smokey Maple BBQ sauces)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray an 8-inch-by-8-inch baking dish with oil.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the water, tahini, soy sauce, and liquid smoke in a separate bowl. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and knead for 1 minute.
  • Spoon into a baking dish and spread flat, filling the pan evenly. Cut into 12 to 16 even strips. Put in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Baking option: Remove and brush the top, sides, and bottoms of the seitan with a layer of barbecue sauce. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, making sure that the sauce doesn’t burn or blacken. Remove from the oven and re-cut or pull apart the individual seitan pieces to serve.
  • Grilling option: Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the strips. Using a large spatula, place the seitan pieces on the grill. Grill for approximately 8 minutes, browning each side and adding more sauce as you turn and cook. Remove from the grill and re-cut or pull apart to serve.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?” READ MORE
