Dry Ingredients

1.5 cups wheat gluten

1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes

1 tsp garlic salt

2 tsps pepper (I used white)

1/4 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp rosemary

Liquid Ingredients

3/4 cup Bisto gravy (made really thick)

2 Tblsp Tamarind Sauce (Tamarina)

2 Tblsp Olive Oil

1/2 Tblsp Soy Sauce

1 Clove of garlic squeezed through a garlic mincer

2 Tblsp Water

Directions

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, really well. Mix liquid ingredients in a separate bowl then add to dry ingredients. Whisk well with a fork so as everything is incorporated and forms into a dough. Knead dough for a few mins.

Double wrap in lightly oiled tin foil. If you want to shape the dough into a sausage then do so, rolling the foil round tightly and then twisting the ends.
Bake in a pre heated oven at 200 degrees for 90 mins - turning over halfway through. Unwrap the seitan and leave to cool completely before using.
