[ID: First image is of two dark brown glazed lamb chops. Second image is a close-up; one of the chops has been cup open to show a pink interior. End ID]
Seitan lamb chops
This vegan meat can be used as a substitute for lamb chops or rack of lamb. Like well-cooked lamb, it is fine-grained, moist, subtly sweet, and meltingly tender. Once simmered it is ready to be seared, breaded, fried, or sliced, and included in your favorite recipes.
The seitan is made using the washed flour method, which kneads dough in water to separate the gluten from the starch: this allows you to control how much starch you leave alongside the gluten in the dough, and thus how tender versus chewy your final cut of meat will be. This recipe makes a dough that leaves more starch in than most seitan recipes do, and then kneads the dough again to distribute that starch into an even, fine grain. A simmer in a spiced, aromatic broth leaves the final product tender, moist, and flavorful all the way through; the broth is then cooked down to a glaze.
The spices called for in this recipe are geared towards replacing lamb in Palestinian recipes, but they can easily be swapped out to complement the flavor profiles of other dishes.
Recipe under the cut!
Patreon | Tip jar
Makes 4 large lamb chops.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
720g bread flour (or any white wheat flour with at least 12% gluten)
About 2 1/4 cups water
For the dry flavoring mix (scaled to 455g dough yield):
2 tsp (7.5g) ground sumac
1 3/4 tsp (5.25g) onion powder
1 tsp (4g) kosher salt (1/2 tsp table salt)
1 tsp (5.5g) vegetarian granulated sugar
1 tsp (2.5g) black peppercorns, toasted and ground
3/4 tsp (2g) caraway seeds, toasted and ground
3/4 tsp (3g) garlic powder
3/4 tsp (2.5g) ground turmeric
3/4 tsp (2g) cumin seeds, toasted and ground
3/4 tsp (1.5g) aniseed, toasted and ground
1/2 tsp beet powder; or 5 drops red + 1 drop green food coloring
1/2 tsp (2.5g) MSG (optional)
To fry:
4 tsp vegan margarine or ghee (سمنة), divided
4 tsp olive oil, divided
For the simmering broth:
2 Tbsp soy sauce (I used Chinese aged soy sauce)
1 Tbsp red tahina
2 tsp miso paste (preferably red)
2 tsp pomegranate molasses
2 tsp vegetarian 'beef' stock concentrate (optional)
1 small yellow onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay laurel leaf
1 stick cinnamon bark
5 allspice berries
5 green cardamom pods, crushed
2 cloves
1/2 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp vegetarian granulated sugar
Several cups water
Instructions:
To wash the flour:
To make seitan using the washed flour method, a dough is first made out of flour and water; then, the dough is washed in water multiple times. The water carries off the starch, leaving the gluten behind.
1. Make the dough. Mix flour and water in a large mixing bowl until dough comes together. Knead for several minutes, and then cover the dough and allow it to rest for another 10-15 minutes to develop gluten. After resting, the dough should be very smooth, elastic, and stretchy.
Tumblr media
2. Soak the dough. Fill the bowl with enough cool water to cover the dough, and let it soak for about an hour. This allows gluten to continue developing.
Tumblr media
3. First wash. Leave the soaking water in the bowl, and begin to knead the dough with your hands under the water. Repeatedly pull, stretch, fold, and press the dough for several minutes to knead, occasionally using your fingertips to break through and shred or mangle the dough as you pull. Soon, the water should be a thick, opaque white.
Tumblr media
4. Drain the dough. Set up a colander over a very large container, and pour the contents of your mixing bowl through. You can also just pour the starchy water down the sink if you don't have plans to use it (to make liangpi noodles, or dumpling wrappers, or any of the recipes out there for vegan bacon using wheat starch...).
At this point, you will see two distinct substances in the dough: the gluten, which is thin and stringy and feels rubbery when pinched, and the starch, which is thick and 'globby' and feels soft when pinched, offering no resistance. We want to wash the flour a few times until most of the starch has been removed, and there are only some small globules interspersed throughout the stringy gluten.
5. Second wash. Return the dough to your mixing bowl and fill it with fresh cool water. Knead and pull the dough for another few minutes, until the water once more turns opaque. There should be fewer large areas of starch in the dough, and more development of the gluten strands. Drain the dough again (just like in step 4).
Tumblr media
6. Third and fourth wash. Repeat this process another time or two, until the starch globules are about 20% of what you see, and the gluten is around 80%. For the last wash, the water should be a bit less opaque with starch than it was for the first one, but it should be more than a bit cloudy. You should see your fingers when you cup some of the water in your hand, but not the bottom of the bowl.

After the third wash
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After the fourth wash
7. Drain the dough. Drain the seitan again and allow it to continue draining, flipping over once, until it is noticeably less wet. Squeeze the dough to remove any extra water or starch on the surface.
You now have your washed flour! This will be the base for the rest of the recipe. I had 455g of dough at this point.
To finish the dough:
1. Add all dry ingredients to the dough and knead again to distribute evenly; or use a blender for about 30 seconds until everything is well-incorporated and the gluten strands are visible.
2. Pull the dough into a single long, thick strand, and then tie it into a couple knots. Do this a few times to build structure.
To cook:
The dough will first be seared to develop a crust, then simmered to infuse it with more flavor. After a rest in the simmering liquid, it is seared again to re-crisp, then tossed in the thickened liquid to form a glaze.
1. Divide dough into four pieces. In a large skillet, heat 2 tsp of margarine and 2 tsp of olive oil (or use all olive oil). Add dough pieces and push flat with a spatula. Fry, turning as needed and intermittently pressing flat with the spatula, until the surface is browned and crispy.
Tumblr media
2. Mix liquid simmering ingredients together and whisk to combine. Pour over browned chops and add whole spices and aromatics. If necessary, add more water to cover.
3. Slowly bring simmering liquid up to a bare simmer. Don't let it come to a rolling boil, which could produce a spongey texture.
4. Cook at a very low simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to soak in the simmering liquid (including spices and aromatics) for at least an hour in the fridge, or overnight.
This is a good place to stop for the night if you want to make these ahead of time.
5. Remove lamb chops from liquid. In a large pot or deep skillet, bring simmering liquid (including spices and aromatics) to a boil, uncovered, until considerably reduced.
6. Strain to remove whole spices and aromatics. Return to pan and continue to reduce until thickened to a glaze-like consistency.
7. In a clean skillet, fry lamb chops again in remaining margarine and oil until browned and crispy. Add glaze and cook, flipping and agitating occasionally, for a couple minutes until coated.
Serve immediately over rice or frika (فريكة / freekeh), topped with fried pine nuts, alongside plain cultured soy yoghurt, pickles, olives, and a side salad, etc.

Happy Friday, everyone! It's cold and rainy in Tokyo so let’s get something warming for THE LATEST LITERACY WALLCHART FOR CHILDREN Advent Calendar, Day 5!
Tumblr media
This fact has it all! Two different names for the vegetable in question (both of which arguably actually refer to a different food!)*, article usage that is very slightly stilted, and a piece of useful information about Chinese regional culture. I love Sichuan food and I love spice, so that's extra nice :)
Speaking of spicy Chinese cuisines, I once read that the reason that Hunan restaurants are so common in the US is because it became popular after Nixon ate so much Hunan food on his historic visit to China. HOWEVER, in reality, it was just that any time he liked or asked about a dish, his hosts went and told him that it was from Hunan, because that's where Mao Zedong was from. And actually almost none of it was Hunanese! However, now I can't find that documented anywhere else so I hope I am not telling you a lie!
