Seitan greasy highway burger....

For some reason no matter what, everytime I post something up that looks a lot like meat, I get a ton of emails and comments. They usualy go a little something like this. "Man, i couldnt eat that, that looks too real." There seems to be a lot of people that are vegan, that really get what we call "annoying". I get it, you're so vegan, that not only did you make a personal decision to not eat meat, but you've also made a personal decision to be annoying. You know how I know that you made that personal decision? Because you have to tell me, and the world, that its too real for you to eat. Nobody goes on blogs and says things like, "sorry that corn on the cob looks way to much like a penis for me to eat." You know why? Because really, who gives a shit. I'm actually not a huge fan of fake meats, being that I really actually crave vegetables most of the time, but from time to time, I think it's great. Now if you don't like the way they taste, thats one thing, but if you just wan't to tell me how you can't get past the fact that it looks like meat, (in sarah palin voice) theeeanks, but no theeanks. I used the PPK recipe for the seitan. But I changed up some very important steps. First I didn't make the vital wheat gluten, i just went and bought it in a bag. Second, I didn't boil it, i baked it in the broth. That's a huge difference in texture change. The texture really amazing. Let it cook for an hour or so, at about 300 degrees. When you take it out, cut it into the size you want. Throw it in to a pan, and toss about 3 tbls of olive oil, and add some salt and pepper. The oil will give it a very greasy effect. Of course this isn't the healthiest sandwich, but its really delicious. I put some vegan mayonnaise on the buns, lettuce, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and some s&p. Put whatever other disgusting things on it you like, I just cover the good stuff.
