Vegan Gluten-Free COLD HAM - healthy seitan without the gluten!

on my chickpea wrap

sorry it's blurry, but it shows the good "bite" it has

INGREDIENTS:
1 tin of kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1/8t curry powder

1/8t beef style stock (optional)

1/4t onion powder

1t herbs

1t liquid smoke

1/4t beet powder (optional)

1/4c tapioca

optional - 1/2c oats - I have not tried this, but it should yield a better texture.

1 garlic clove- minced

You may want to add chilli to taste (I dislike strong flavours)

1/4t miso (optional)

5 olives- optional 

METHOD:

1- Mix with a stick blender. 

2- Press with fingers or a cup into a non stick pan to fit. It will be a dough like paste.

3- Cook on medium-low, with the lid on, until a crust forms, and flip. (about 5-10 minutes). Flip and cook another 5 minutes or once being to get golden in areas. 

4- Quarter and store in fridge for 3-4 days. (you could also use a crumpet ring to cut out circle slices of ham, chop up the left overs and use it in a salad) 

Taste - Very tasty, and definitely reminiscent of meat. Do not eat it warm, flavours are better once cooled. 

Texture- Once cooled it has a good bite and "strength" to it.  It is a bit bland so adjust flavouring to your tastes. (I prefer it bland)
