Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 200 ml boiling water
- 1 400g tin cooked chickpeas and aquafaba from tin
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Dry ingredients
- 250 g vital wheat gluten
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
- 4 cracks black pepper
- 3 tsp vegan bouillon powder
- 2 tsp onion granules
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
Stuffing
- 85 g sage and onion stuffing The smaller box available
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 200ml 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 an electric herb mill or 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
- 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
- Oil a sheet of aluminium foil then roll up the roast as tightly as you can, cover this with another layer of foil so it looks like the picture.
- 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 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!
Unfortunately it was a disaster. Stuck to the parchment paper & seemed just the same as when I put it in the steamer for 45 mins each side. It took for ever to scrap it from the paper but I did. I then decided to roast it which was ok. Wish I knew where I went wrong!
Hi Marie, We’re so sorry to hear this! Having examined the recipe the baking parchment step is completely unnecessary, entirely our fault we have corrected it!
Please do give this roast another go, oil the aluminium foil before rolling the roast up in it, this will come out just fine!
Thanks for letting us know and for enabling us to make this correction, please let us know how it turns out next time!
Best wishes, Paul and B x
