Mock Chicken

7 Secrets Cookbook

Neva and Jim Brackett

2 cups soaked soybeans or garbanzos, drained (may use canned or do it yourself)

1/4 Braggs Liquid Aminos or 2 TB soy sauce

3 TB Chicken Like Seasoning

2 TB yeast flakes

1 TB onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 cups vital wheat gluten

1. Place beans in blender with 1 1/2 cups water and blend.

2. While blending, add all the seasonings and continue until smooth.

3. Pour into a bowl and add the gluten flour. Work the flour in with your handsfor about minutes or until stiff. Add more gluten flour if it is still a little to soft.The less kneadingthe more spongy and breadlike. The more kneading makes it more chewy andelastic.

4. Form intotwo oval shaped loaves and place on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.Bake 50minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on a rack

For the chkn salad, cut the loaf and shred in a food processor. For my salad I add in Nayonaise and onions. I'm thinking of adding in some tofu for an egglike feel, but I haven't tried that yet. Let me know how you like it!
