Ingredients

• 2 cups Vital wheat gluten
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
• 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
• 1.25 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional for a smoky flavor)
• 1 Large onion, roughly chopped
• 3 Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 4 Potatoes, quartered
• 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, and nutritional yeast. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, ground cumin, and liquid smoke (if using).

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring until it forms a dough.

Step 5

Knead the dough well for about 3-5 minutes to develop the gluten, resulting in a stretchy texture.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a loaf or roast shape and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper.

Step 7

Place the wrapped seitan loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables (onion, carrots, and potatoes) and place them in a large roasting dish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

Step 9

Drizzle the chopped vegetables with half of the melted vegan butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss them to coat evenly.

Step 10

Once the seitan loaf has baked for 45 minutes, remove it from the oven and carefully unwrap it.

Step 11

Lay the seitan roast on top of the vegetables in the roasting dish and brush generously with the remaining melted vegan butter.

Step 12

Return the dish to the oven and roast everything together for another 45 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through for even cooking.

Step 13

Remove the dish from the oven, let the roast rest for 10 minutes, and then slice it into thick pieces.

Step 14

Serve the Vegan Succulent Roast 'Lamb' with the roasted vegetables and any vegan gravy or sauce of your liking.
