    Plant protein that convinces

    This homemade vegan seitan chicken is so convincing it will amaze any meat-eater. Cooked chickpeas are pureed with water, soy sauce, and miso paste, then blended with chickpea flour and seitan powder to form an elastic dough. The trick lies in the kneading and subsequent 45-minute cooking time in vegetable broth. The result: a meat-like texture that's perfect for marinating, roasting, or freezing. Once prepared, the vegan chicken will keep for a week in the refrigerator or three months in the freezer. Ideal for meal prep and infinitely versatile—from curries to sandwiches, anything goes.
