This seitan roast is one to keep in mind for Christmas (shoosh – pretend I never said the ‘C’ word) when the glowing meat-free roast appears out of the oven with all the lovely caramelised vegetables. And the glaze…ooh, la, la!
I really like Aaron Calder and I like seitan – he cannot be faulted for his short, no-nonsense approach and easy-to-follow videos (although maybe some of the singing smurf background music could be reconsidered). Pause them to catch the full ingredient lists and weights.
Mix the dry and wet together. 
Form into a blob.
As advised, blend the ingredients in batches if you don’t have a large food processor. Give the mixture a right good stir and a healthy knead. The roast changes colour after an hour in the steamer too.
One hour and counting… 
Good grief! Check you.
The thick glaze can also be used to coat the surrounding veg.
Aaron Calder’s 100% plant-based roast.
People understandably look for familiarity when it comes to mealtimes, but thankfully there is nothing ‘beefy’ about this roast in either flavour or texture – Rooting Aboot would run a mile if there was.
