This chickpea seitan is not for everyone, especially if you’re avoiding gluten. But if you’re not allergic to gluten, try this in place of tofu. Also, this is not supposed to taste or feel like meat. I like to eat seitan as seitan and not something else.

Each serving has 22 grams of protein and 3.6 grams of fiber.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups chickpeas with aquafaba

• 2 tsp onion powder

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tbs miso paste

• 2 tbs soy sauce

• 1 1/2 cup gluten

• 1/2 tbs of flour for dusting

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients until the soy sauce in a food processor until you have a liquid mixture.

2. Add the gluten and run the food processor to mix thoroughly.

3. Remove the mixture and knead the dough for about 5 minutes.

4. Take a baking sheet and wrap the seitan with it to keep shape. Use a twine if needed. Steam for 2 hours. I use an Instant Pot.

5. I like to slice and pan fry, but you can also shred, bake—be creative.
