Veggeroni

1 1/4 C vital wheat gluten
1/4 C nutritional yeast
3/4 t salt
2 t paprika
1 t ground black pepper
1/2 t crushed red pepper
3/4 t mustard seeds
1 t fennel seeds
1/2 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
2/3 C water
4 T tomato sauce
1 t liquid smoke
1/4 t agave nectar

Preheat oven to 325ยบ F. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Put the cashew butter in a smaller bowl, and slowly mix in the water. Add the remaining wet ingredients to the small bowl and blend well.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry, stirring well (use your hands if necessary). Remove from the bowl and knead for a few minutes, making sure ingredients are distributed well.

Roll into a log shape, about 7 inches long. Place the log on foil and roll it up in the foil, twisting the ends to seal. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, turning over after 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and unwrap to cool. Slice as needed and store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge.

  1. You have to be really hurting to experience this as remotely similar to pepperoni. However, it is very dense and flavorful. Not sure if that's reason enough to actually eat it.
