cold water to make 2 and 1/2 c. total liquid

THE COOKING BROTH:
7 c. water

2 large onions, minced, OR 1/2 c. dehydrated onion flakes
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar

Here is how you make BRYANNA'S ORIGINAL VEGAN "CORNED BEEF" (SEITAN):

In a dry medium-sized bowl mix dry ingredientsIn a quart measuring beaker whisk together wet ingredientsPour the Wet Mix into the Dry Mix and mix well, but briefly. Pat the soft mixture down (some liquid may exude on the sides—that’s all right). Cover and let “rest” 60 minutes (no less).In the meantime, make cooking brothMix in a large pot and bring to a boil the cooking broth, then keep at a simmer, coveredSlide the gluten out onto a clean counter and, with a rolling pin, roll the whole mass out, rolling only in one direction to make a flat, but not thin rectangle. Now fold it in half over itself and roll in the same direction to make a flattish “roast” about 2” thick.Immediately, carefully pick up the “roast” and slide it gently into the simmering Cooking Broth.Simmer gently (do not boil), covered, for 1 and 1/2 hours. Let the roast cool to room temperature in the broth, then remove it from the broth, wrap and refrigerate (or freeze some of it, perhaps), and strain the broth to freeze and re-use.Slice the “corned beef” very thinly with a sharp knife to use in sandwiches with mustard.Or reheat the roast in the cooking broth, simmering gently for about 20 minutes, and eat with steamed cabbage and carrots, boiled potatoes and mustard.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LBACKMAN.
