Tip

The seitan can be used as is in sandwiches, or however you would use cooked chicken breast. Stir fries, pot pie, curries, burritos, pasta.

You can shred this recipe with a fork and your fingers if desired.

Change the herbs to suit the intended dish- or even leave it out for a very neutral flavour..dried mixed herbs give the seitan an italian style flavour. Fresh is fine but will turn the seitan greenish. Try Coriander or flat leaf parsley!

Slice the loaves as a substitute for chicken loaf, slice larger ones and bread crumb for nuggets or schnitzel.

Vital Wheat Gluten is available in many health food stores, bread making supply stores, bulk food shops and online. (It may be named Vital wheat gluten, gluten flour, pure gluten)

No other flour will work, the vwg is essential to this recipe.

You may use other beans but chickpeas are quite neutral tasting. You may add other flavourings as this recipe is very forgiving.
