I watched this video awhile ago and thought these looked excellent. I don't always love the way my seitan turns out when I try to make it myself, but I'm always looking for that perfect recipe. I had bought a bag of wheat gluten to make these, and I just never did. I ran across the gluten when I reorganized, and made a mental note to try to make these.
These turned out great! The cashews make them more tender I think, and also add a fattiness that I think is "vital" to the finished product. (I couldn't resist) And, she is right about the apple cider vinegar cutting down on the gluten taste. These are very similar to Field Roast or Tofurky sausages. It will be fun to play around with the spices. I really like the light onion flavor from the scallions too. This is hands down the best seitan recipe I've come across. I can't think of anything bad to say. The dough came together perfectly, and was easy to work with, and that made clean-up a lot easier. These will be great little sausages to make in the warmer months coming up, I'm sure they would be amazing grilled!
More curry oven fries for dinner. Dipped in Carolina Gold BBQ sauce from Trader Joe's. So so good. Speaking of sauces, I was wondering yesterday if anyone loves sauces more than vegans? I've always been a condiment lover, but I definitely think that love deepened when I went vegan.
I made sure I didn't get too full on potatoes again so I could try this out. Like the other two flavors I've tried, it is beyond out of this world. It is a ten out of ten for sure. If you like coffee, you will like this. The coffee flavor is rich and strong, and the ice cream is super creamy. And the caramel, what can I say about the caramel? I want to bathe in the caramel. It's sweet, and somehow runny the way real caramel can be even though it's been in the freezer. The fudge chunks are a nice bonus, but to be honest I would have been just as happy with the coffee and caramel. I really don't know which flavor is my favorite, all three that I've tried have been stellar. I won't be trying the chocolate fudge flavor, because I haven't read one good thing about it. I usually like to make up my own mind, but for some reason I am fine with going with the majority on this one. I was thinking how good this ice cream would be blended with some of the Califia Farms vegan Mocha. The perfect coffee milkshake. I'm really glad this flavor exists. I really love vegan caramel!
Happy Wednesday!
Oh, man! I am loving how descriptive you and other bloggers are with the Ben & Jerry's reviews. I have got to seek them out before the weekend. Is it a coincidence I bought a gym membership this week?
Ha ha, that's so funny! But, now you can balance out the ice cream! There is a brand new Jenny Craig office that opened up by Target, and my bus stop and the first day i bought the two pints was their grand opening day. I had a chuckle as I was waiting for the bus with my two pints! I sincerely mean this though, it is worth EVERY SINGLE CALORIE!
I remember you saying that, and I thought of you when I bought it. It far exceeded my expectations! The coffee flavor is so strong(in a good way) and the sweet gooey caramel really goes well with it. I genuinely don't know which is my favorite! I really hope you find it soon!
Yum, I think that this would be my favourite. I love coffee in cakes but I've never had it in icecream. It sounds so amazing with the caramel and fudge. I remember first trying Ben and Jerry's in 1988 when I was a college exchange student in upstate New York not too far from where it was made in Vermont. It blew me away and was so different to anything I'd had before. I remember being so excited when we finally got it in England in the early 90's. I really hope we get these vegan ones too!
I hope you get them too! I know what you mean about there being just something different about the Ben&Jerry's. It just always tasted a little better. I feel the same way about the vegan versions. They are just a little different, and I really hate to say it, but a little bit better than the other options. The coffee caramel flavor surprised me with how much I liked it. I really hope you get to try it soon!
Those seitan dogs looks pretty darn good. It was good to watch the video to at least see their method for rolling. I've never gotten mine to look so uniform in size.
I will probably never use another recipe now that I tried this one. I think the cashews make the texture so much more appetizing! I think rolling them real tight in the foil helps with the shape.

DeleteCoffee Ice Cream is the bomb. You are soooo lucky to be able to get it. Eat more for me!
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to ask me twice to eat more for you!
