Ingredients
Vital wheat gluten, 13 ouncesWater, tap, 2 cupsOnions, raw, 2 ouncesGarlic, 1 large clove*Coriander seed, 2 tsp Nutmeg, ground, 1 tsp Turmeric, ground, 1 tspHearty Brown mustard, (your choice) 2 tbsp Paprika, 1 tbsp Paprika, Smoked, 1 tsp Granulated Sugar, 1 tsp Salt, 1.5 tsp Olive Oil, 2 tbspparchment paper, 11 12"x7" piecesstringsteamer
Directions
Take EVERYTHING but the water and vital wheat gluten, and throw it into the food processor. Maybe ad an ounce or two of water, and buzz the heck out of it. Really. You want as smooth a paste of flavoring base as possible. If you want to, you can even run the coriander seed through a mortar and pestle. Me? I just went for the chunky flavor of it all. Once the paste has been processed as smooth as you like it, add ALL the vital wheat gluten; add all the water that's left, and buzz the daylights out of it.

Divide the dough into eleven, roughly 3 1/2 ounce lumps; shape each lump into a log shape. "Pretty" isn't a requirement, here. Roll up in parchment, somewhat firmly, like a tootsie roll, and tie each end. Place in a steamer. When all the rolls have been tied, place the steamer over boiling water, with an ample amount of water to steam for 30 minutes. Again, make sure this doesn't boil dry. Stink-a-roonie, huh? Set the timer for 30 minutes, turn the heat to "oh, SNAP!" and walk away. When you're ready to eat these, unwrwap (parchment and string do NOT add to the epicurean experience, okay?) and serve...on bread, in Beanie-Weenie, or what-have you.

Again, questions? Comments? Exhortations? Feel free, and...keep coming back. It works, if you work it. So work it: you're worth it!
