Spicy Seitan Sausages [Vegan]

Seitan: should we eat it, or not? If you've been diagnosed with Celiac disease, avoid it. But if you haven't, I don't see anything wrong with having it occasionally.

How to Prepare Spicy Seitan Sausages [Vegan]

For the Spices and More:

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until fully integrated.

For the Sausages:

Add the wheat gluten to the bowl with the spices and mix for one minute.
Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Cut up six pieces of parchment paper, about 8 inches wide. Shape each dough ball into a sausage shape and roll with parchment paper, twisting the ends several times around. Place rolled sausages into a steamer, and steam for 35 minutes. Once done, remove from parchment paper (or leave wrapped for later use).

Notes

These sausages can be kept in the fridge, steamed, for up to a week. I like to always cook them again after steaming, either on the barbecue, fried in a pan, or baked in the oven. There are numerous ways to consume these. Some we’ve tried include; barbecued and placed in a bun like a smoky, with all the fixin’s; cut up on top of a pizza; mixed with sauerkraut and baked in the oven; or cut up and fried, then added to a pasta salad...mmm. Delicious. Oh yeah, you can also try dipping them into fondue.
