6 Ingredient Seitan Sausages

These are great to add to any recipe that would normally call for sausage or in a wrap or a sandwich. They are also good on pizza. Seitan usually calls for oil as an ingredient but I have been making these without oil and they are good.
This is the fastest version because there are so few ingredients but really none of them are much work.
Ingredients:
In a bowl combine:
1 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup garbanzo flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tsp Tex Mex spice mixture (we use club House but any brand will do).
In a measuring cup combine:
1 1/2 cup vegan beef broth 
2 Tbsp minced garlic
To Make:
Mix the dry ingredients together.
Stir the wet ingredients together then pour into the dry ingredients.
Knead for 3 minutes.
Let sit for 10 minutes.
Put at least an inch of water in a large pot and put on stove to boil.
After the seitan has been sitting for 10 minutes knead for another 30 seconds then cut into 4 or 6 or 8 pieces and shape into sausages or patties.
Wrap each piece in foil and place in a colander.
Set the colander over the boiling water and cover with a lid.
Turn the water down to a simmer and steam for 30 minutes.
Let cool and refrigerate or freeze. All Seitan tastes better the second day because the spices blend together better.
Note: all of the ingredients are available at our local Bulk store. Even the regular beef broth cubes at our local bulk store are vegan. Just read the ingredients and you may be surprised.
