Ingredients
2 cups vital wheat gluten4 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika4 tablespoons nutritional yeast4 teaspoons onion powder2 teaspoon garlic powder1.5 cup water4 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke2 tablespoon soy sauce3/4 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray 2 8×8 baking dishes with canola oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
Split dough in half. Put the each half of the dough into the baking dishes and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. You may have to stretch it, and let it rest, several times. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces.
Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it’s cooking prepare your grill.
Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribs will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce.
Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn’t burn. When it’s sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.
