Save the Chickens Vegan Roast

It's likely that the chicken really crossed the road to escape death by the executioner's ax.

Earlier I shared a recipe for Better Than Mad Cows Vegan Roast. Today's recipe is similar in terms of preparation and ingredients, but the seasonings are slightly different in order to create a flavor reminiscent of poultry, such as chicken and turkey.


Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4C cashew pieces
  • 2C water
  • 1t salt
  • 2T chicken style seasoning
  • 2T white miso
  • 1/4t celery salt
  • 1/4C nutritional yeast flakes
  • 2 1/2C vital wheat gluten flour
  • 2T flour

Directions

  1. Saute onion and garlic.
  2. While onion and garlic are cooking, combine cashews, water, salt, nutritional yeast flakes, and seasonings (everything but the flours) in a blender.
  3. Mix the flours in a large bowl.
  4. When the onion mixture is ready place the mixture in the blender and blend until smooth, usually a couple of minutes.
  5. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and stir until well combined and a dough forms.
  6. Shape the dough into a roll about 8 inches long.
  7. Wrap the roll tightly with parchment paper and then with foil.
  8. Bake at 325 degrees for 2 hours (120 minutes).
  9. The roll should be firm and the internal temperature slightly less than 200 degrees.
