Instructions
Sage and Onion Stuffing
- Add 175ml boiling water to the stuffing mix in a bowl
- Mix until consistent
- Leave to stand whilst you make the dough
Full method for dough
- Put the 250ml of water, lemon juice and the tin of chickpeas with all of the juice from the tin into a plastic jug
- Using a stick blender blitz until it makes a completely smooth paste
- Grind the thyme, sage, onion and garlic granules using a pestle and mortar until it makes a fine powder with no bits in it
- Add to this the nutritional yeast, stock powder, mustard powder, white pepper, black pepper and salt and grind until consistent
- Put all of the above in to the food processor and using a plastic blade blitz for 30 seconds or until smooth.
- Now add the gluten to the food processor and mix on full power for 1 minute
- Leave to stand for 1 minute
- Mix on full power again for 1 minute.
Making the joint
- Turn out the dough and gently knead for 30 seconds
- Spread the dough flat and measure it to be as wide as your steamer and twice as long
- Roll out the stuffing to match the width of the dough then place near the top of the dough
- Roll up the stuffing with the dough and create the joint shape
- Tuck in excess dough around the roll of the joint, try to make this as uniform as possible
- Place on to baking parchment and roll up tightly
- Now roll this up in a layer of tin foil, tightly wrapping as you go then repeat with another layer of tin foil.
- You'll need to gently force this into the steamer
- Steam for 45 minutes
- Turn out the joint the pop it back in upside down and steam for a further 45 minutes
- When the joint has finished steaming, remove the paper and foil, pop it on to a cooling rack and leave to stand for 30 minutes, this will let it tighten up and form an outer layer.
- Carve in to slices and serve!
- If you manage to keep this overnight in the fridge make sure you wrap it up, you'll be able to slice it much finer for that Christmas sandwich you've been dreaming of!
