Ingredients

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.

Do you have to use it all at once, or can you refrigerate it and use a bit at a time?
Also, what is seitan? I'm kinda new to this whole veg thing.... - 12/10/08

You don't have to use it all at once - this will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week - but I bet it doesn't last that long!!
Seitan is derived from the protein portion of wheat and is a GREAT meat substitute.
