Instructions

1 Tip the whole tin of beans, liquid and all, into a food processor fitted with a
metal blade. Add the oil, lemon juice, miso paste, nutritional yeast, garlic and
onion powders, chicken seasoning and salt and blend until smooth.
2 Add the vital wheat gluten and blend until it forms a dough.
3 Working with about ⅓ rd of the dough at a time, blend the dough for a couple of
minutes until it becomes very smooth and stretchy, with a stringy, fibrous
looking texture. It should feel tacky but should not stick to your hands. Repeat
with the rest of the dough.
4 Take ⅓ rd of the kneaded dough and stretch it into a long rope with your hands.
Twist the rope tightly.
5 Tie each end into a knot so that it sort of forms one piece. Press it firmly
with your hand on the counter top so that it all sticks together. Repeat with
the other two pieces of dough.
6 Fill a slow cooker with hot stock and add the pieces of seitan in a single
layer. There should be enough stock to cover them so you may need to add a bit
more depending on the size of your slow cooker.
7 Cook for two hours, flipping halfway through. I have mine set to high but this
may vary depending on your slow cooker. You want it to stay at a low simmer, not
bubble too much and never boil.
8 The seitan will expand as it cooks, it is ready when it feels quite firm.
9 Allow the seitan to cool enough that you can handle it, then either use your
hands or two forks to pull it apart into shreds. It is easier to do this while
it is still warm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
