Vegan Mayo - success at last

After a few serious FAILS - I think I found one that works. I tried it on the family last night and got thumbs up from all the lil people!!


1c PLAIN unsweetened soymilk + 2-3 T
3T apple cider vinegar
1/4 c canola oil
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp agave nectar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 T cornstarch


Combine the 1/4 c milk and vinegar. It will curdle - don't worry, it's supposed to happen


Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT the 2-3 T milk - save that for the last step


Blend with an immersion blender


Microwave for 1 minute. It WILL bubble up - so be sure your container is large enough to avoid a hot mess


Remove and blend again. Return to the microwave. Blend 1 minute.


Remove and blend. Heat another minute.




Allow to fully cool.


A skin will form - so once cooled, blend again. Use the additional soymilk to create the desired consistency. My 'tasters' found the recipe to be a little too thick - we used about 2 T and blended to perfection.

Seitan Loaf

I just made this last night - if you are a lil iffy on the texture of homemade seitan - this is a lil more dense - totally yummy!! Once done it can be used in a stew, stir fry, pot pie - sliced with friend onions in a sandwich.... be creative!

SEITAN LOAF


3/4 rinsed canned white beans
1/4 c soy sauce
1 T olive oil
1 1/4 c veggie broth
2 c vital wheat gluten
1/2 c nutritional yeast
1 1/2 T onion powder
2 cloves garlic - crushed or minced
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper


Blend spy sauce, broth, oil and beans in a food processor until smooth.


Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet mixture. Knead 3-5 minutes. Shape into a loaf.


Wrap loaf in OILED foil. Place in a baking dish with 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bake at 350' until firm - approx 1 hr 45 min.
