OK, folks. Gluten / seitan potroast. Most of the time is spent in chopping your vegetables, and it doesn’t require you to pay attention to it. Make it in the morning, have it for lunch. There’s not much of a recipe, particularly because we’ve blogged it before here, here, here, and here. Pick a recipe and form it into a roast-shaped hunk, and follow the steps below:
- Throw some chopped onions into your crock pot.
- Throw some chopped carrots into your crock pot.
- Throw some sliced potatoes into your crock pot.
- Slosh on some soy sauce.
- Add about a cup of vegetable broth.
- Settle your roast on top.
- Cover and turn on the crock pot.
- Check back in about 4 hours.
- When it’s firm to the touch, arrange in a pan.
- Put in the oven for about 15 minutes, to give it a bit of a crust.
Really – this is about as easy as you get. Forget about a 30 minute meal: this is 30 minutes you can eat from for days and days. Serve with gravy and / or cranberry sauce and the vegetables you cooked with it. Watch the video below to see the assembly.
That looks so simple and satisfying (and warm)!
I did the wash the flour thing once many many years ago. It was good, but as you said, labour intensive.
