Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Vital wheat gluten
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 0.75 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 0.5 cup Plain unsweetened non-dairy yogurt (for marinade)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (for marinade)
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander (for marinade)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin (for marinade)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (for marinade)
• 1 medium, cut into chunks Red onion
• 2 medium, cut into chunks Bell peppers
• 12 Cherry tomatoes
• 6 Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and dried thyme.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, olive oil, and liquid smoke.

Step 3

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms and knead for about 3-5 minutes until the dough becomes slightly elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into kebab-like logs.

Step 5

Wrap each log tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal. Steam the wrapped seitan kebabs in a steamer pot for 30 minutes.

Step 6

While the steamed seitan cools, prepare the marinade by whisking together the non-dairy yogurt, lemon juice, ground coriander, ground cumin, and paprika in a bowl.

Step 7

Once the seitan is cool enough to handle, unwrap it and add the pieces to the marinade. Coat well and let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 8

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Thread the marinated seitan onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 10

Grill the kebabs for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are charred and the seitan has a nice crust.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice or salad.
