Using Gluten... with Susie!

Wheat gluten can be used as a protein substitute. This is a valuable "skill" especially when it comes to emergency preparedness. Basic Gluten Recipe • 10 cups whole wheat flour • 4 cups water Mix flour and water for five minutes. Remove mixture from bowl and cover completely with tap water for 1 hour.  Use a colander and large bowl to wash the bran and starch out of the gluten.  Slice the gluten into palm size pieces. 3 WAYS TO USE GLUTEN: 1. Gluten Steaks 2. Hamburger/Meatloaf mixture 3. Gluten Sausage GLUTEN STEAKS Make gluten broth: 2 quarts water 1/8 cup soy sauce 3 T beef flavored bouillon or 4 beef cubes 1 t Kitchen Bouquet 1 pkg. dry onion soup mix Simmer gluten steaks 1 ½ hours. Dip steaks in egg, then bread crumbs with Italian seasons and WW flour. Fry in a little oil. HAMBURGER/MEATLOAF Mix equal parts ground gluten and hamburger Onion and garlic, salt & pepper to taste, and eggs. Bake on an oiled cookie sheet at 350  for 10 minutes each side. Substitute this for hamburger in any recipe.
