Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup low sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or your choice of neutral flavoured oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
Instructions
Oven Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet into the dry and start mixing until mostly combined and you have what resembles dough. Then transfer to a clean surface or cutting board and use your hands to knead and press the dough for 1-2 minutes. It should feel soft and look well combined.
- Now cut your dough into two equally sized pieces and roll them out into salami shapes that will be about 6 inches long. It doesn't have to be perfect, it will get smooth as it cooks. Then wrap each salami with parchment paper and then aluminum foil, making sure the foil is long enough to overlap and then twist the ends. (See process shots above for a visual.)
- Place the wrapped salami on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes, flipping them over at the halfway point.
- Remove from the oven and gently peel the foil to see if the salami appear smooth and poke with your finger to test its firmness. They should feel firm, but still give a little to pressure. They will firm up more as they cool.
- Let cool completely, then slice and enjoy with pizza, in sandwiches, on a charcuterie board, or as a snack.
Steaming Instructions
- Follow steps 2-4 above to prepare your salami. Then add 1-2" of water to a large pot that will fit your steamer basket, WITHOUT the water touching your basket. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to maintain a low boil and place the salami inside your basket.
- Cover and steam for 45-60 minutes, keeping an eye on your water to make sure it doesn't completely evaporate. Start checking on them around the 45 minute mark. Gently remove the foil, the salami should appear smooth. You may give it a poke with your finger or tongs to test firmness. They should feel firm but still give a little to pressure. They'll firm up more as they cool.
- Let cool completely, then slice and enjoy with pizza, in sandwiches, on a charcuterie board, or as a snack.
Notes
- Make sure to knead and mix your dough very well for even flavour and best texture.
- Don't spend too much time fussing over perfectly shaped salami. It will appear bumpy before baking, but gets nice and smooth while it cooks.
- If you don't like having foil touch your food, use parchment paper between your salami and aluminum foil layer.
- For mild vegan salami, simply omit the chili flakes, but keep in the black pepper for best flavour.
- Keep refrigerated in a sealed container or zip top bag for up to 1 week. Or you may freeze for up to 3 months.
