Instructions
 

For the Seitan Breakfast Sausage

  • In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, fennel seeds, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and olive oil.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a dough, then knead for about 2-3 minutes until firm.
  • Divide the dough into small sausage shapes. Steam the sausages for 30 minutes, then let them cool.
  • Heat a pan with a bit of olive oil and cook each sausage until browned on all sides.

For the Tofu Scramble

  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions, cooking until softened.
  • Crumble the tofu into the pan, then add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.
  • Plate the tofu scramble alongside the seitan sausages. Garnish with fresh herbs and avocado slices, if desired.
