Glazed Corned Seitan Roast
Guys, why have I never made my own seitan before?!
It’s is so ridiculously easy! And cheap compared to how much this much seitan would cost in the grocery store. And you probably already have all or most of the ingredients needed in your pantry right now.
This recipe begins with a basic seitan and then gets fancy with the addition of a sweet mustard glaze and topped off with pickling spices.
If you want to make extra of the basic seitan for use another day (which I highly recommend!), just skip adding the glaze and pickling spice blend and go straight to the baking.
The glazed corned seitan will look like this just before going into the oven…
… And while it is roasting, your kitchen will smell AMAZING!!
When you take the roast out of the oven, set it straight onto a cutting board. Let it hang out for a bit until cool enough to handle then just slice and serve.
How to serve:
I started out with these semi-thick slices, which I think is the ideal size for serving with mashed potatoes.
But then decided what I really wanted was a Reuben so I took the uncut portion and ran it across the mandolin for super thin slices.
Piled it onto pumpernickel/rye bread with Russian dressing, sauerkraut, and vegan provolone. Cooked it up grilled cheese style and – oh, man! it was good!
Ideas for leftovers:
We made two whole meals out of the leftovers. The first was the corned seitan over mashed potatoes with a little gravy.
And then we used the remaining seitan with coleslaw for some really tasty tacos the next night.

Do you make your own vegan beef broth, or is there a brand you recommend? I’m having trouble finding it 🙁

Better Than Bouillon makes a good one called “No Beef Base.” If you can’t find it at your supermarket (so far I’ve only found it at Whole Foods), it is also available through Amazon -> https://amzn.to/2m4pa5t
