I found it was easier to mix with my hands, like making meatloaf. Add all the other ingredients to the beans in the order listed.

This “dough” only takes a few minutes to prepare, so make sure the steamer is ready to go. Set aside 4 square sheets of aluminum foil. I can imagine many vegan dishes using this as a master recipe.įirst set up a steamer that can hold four large sausages.

This was my first time cooking with vital wheat gluten, I was surprised that a “meaty” texture resulted from a “flour” product.

Vital wheat gluten is made from the protein found in the endosperm of the wheat berry. 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained.Please stop by Joan’s blog to savor the vegan spin on animal protein by our group of talented cooks.

Our challenge: “Choose one of your favorite rich, heavy, fatty animal-protein-based meals and give it a healthy VEGAN spin.” Introducing the Vegan Gutbuster Sandwich! Something we all remembered with affection…It had been many years since I even thought about the Gutbuster, but since our reunion weekend, I have been pondering a makeover of our beloved pie. And the Gutbuster was their famous 3/4-pound slice with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. One of the fond memories from our college years was pizza. We slept and ate in the sorority house, so fun ~ and our contributions for staying there helped to raise funds for the chapter. Over 80 members who graduated between 19 took a trip down memory lane for the weekend, we visited some of our old haunts, and had a blast reconnecting and rekindling old friendships. Last summer my Alpha Phi sorority sisters met in Champaign, Illinois for a PHI-abulous reunion.
