Ingredients

    31 grams Tomato Paste
    1 serving Pacific Natural Foods Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Broth, 1 cup
    10 grams Bragg - Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning (1Tbsp/5g)
    1 cup Eden Organic Garbanzo Beans (No Salt Added) (by AJEREMA)
    1 tsp Onion powder
    .5 tsp Garlic powder
    2 tsp Paprika
    3 tsp Bakon Hickory Smoked Dried Torula Yeast
    355 grams Vital wheat gluten

Tips

Makes great deli slices, delicious on a Philly no-Cheese Steak Sandwich or cut into beefy grilled strips for salads or meal toppers.

NOTE: This is intentionally a very bland recipe for bodybuilders on a low sodium diet, add 1 Tsp of Blackened Seasoning, 1 tsp of Sea Salt and 1 Tbs of Soysauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos for a more robust savory flavor. Baste with a BBQ sauce or dice and toss into a pasta sauce for added flavor and texture. A great meaty base for any recipe that requires beef or steak.


Directions

1. Blend in a blender for 10 seconds: Tomato Paste, Vegetable Broth, Nutritional Yeast, Garbanzo Beans, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika and Torula Yeast
2. Place blended mixture in a mixing bowl and add Vital Wheat Gluten. Hand mix until all gluten is mixed in.
3. Place loaf onto a tin foil sheet and wrap tightly
4. Steam Loaf in steamer for 60 minutes, turning once after 30 minutes.
5. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours or until cooled and firm.
