FOR THE SALAD

Method

  1. In a bowl, stir together the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast,  spices and half a cup of stock.  
  2. Knead the dough ball and divide into 2 equal pieces.  
  3. Bring the remaining stock to a boil in a large pot. 
  4. Place the dough into the broth and return to the boil. Simmer until firm, for about 40–50 minutes.  
  5. Rest the seitan for 10 minutes before slicing. 
  6. In a bowl, add the grapes, carrot, capsicum, almonds, and coriander. 
  7. In a separate bowl mix the yogurt and curry powder until smooth. 
  8. Dress the salad with the curried yoghurt, then serve between two plates topped with crushed walnuts, herbs, and seitan. Season to taste and enjoy!
