I’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately, and I also have had a lot of recipes lying around that I’ve been meaning to try out. Tonight I made chickpea burgers and seitan (which Rob loves.)
Seitan is a vegan “meat” that basically consists of vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, garlic and vegetable broth. This forms a kind of dough that you then cut up into a few smaller chunks, which you then cook in a pot of simmering broth and soy sauce for 45 minutes.
It’s sort of a meaty, sort of spongy texture. Once I cooked it, Rob sliced it up and threw it on the skillet, and made a sandwich of it and loved it. I got the recipe off The PPK.
The chickpea burger was really good, but I don’t remember how I found the recipe but I finally decided to try it. This burger uses spices like cumin and coriander and is meant to be served with tahini sauce in a pita pocket. This recipe was found on The 30-Day Vegan Challenge.
I made a complete mess of the kitchen, but I’m enjoying cooking lately. Especially if it’s from scratch and if it’s vegan. Rob seems to think I’m finding my cooking groove.
