THE CORNED BEEF

so i just amalgamated several recipes i found on the internet, having never made this before…

1 1/4 c. vital wheat gluten

1 tbsp mustard powder

lots of black pepper

1/2 tsp cloves, cinnamon and allspice

1 tsp soy sauce

a few good shakes liquid smoke

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chili flakes

1/4 c. nutritional yeast

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 c. canellini beans

3/4 c. water

1/4 c. oil

1 tbsp sugar

RUB (for the outside) 1 tbsp ground black pepper, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

preheat oven to 325

combine vital wheat gluten and all dry ingredients. in a separate bowl, mash beans and then mix in wet ingredients. add the dry to the wet and mix, then knead for a couple minutes. shape into a long loaf. take a big piece of tinfoil. put half of the rub mixture down on the foil, then place the loaf on top. shake remaining rub mixture over top and try to press into sides. wrap it up, sealing the top then squishing in the ends. bake for an hour and a half or until firm. let it cool then slice thin.
