A flavorful and satisfying plant-based alternative to traditional salami, made with wholesome ingredients and packed with protein.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup vital wheat gluten (Substitute with chickpea flour for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika (Can be replaced with regular paprika)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (Fresh garlic can be used, adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon fennel seeds (Can be replaced with anise seeds)
1 teaspoon sea salt (Low-sodium options can be used)
1 teaspoon onion powder (Fresh onions can be substituted)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (Italian seasoning blend can be used)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (Fresh parsley can be used)
1 teaspoon black pepper (Adjust quantity to preference)
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (Omit or reduce for milder flavor)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (Water can substitute, but broth is richer)
2 tablespoons tomato paste (Sun-dried tomatoes can be a different flavor)
2 tablespoons avocado oil (Any vegetable oil can substitute)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (Tamari can be used for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon liquid smoke (Omit if unavailable)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (protein base and spices).
  2. In a separate container, whisk together all wet ingredients (broth, tomato paste, oil, soy sauce, liquid smoke).
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry mix and combine to form a sticky dough.
  4. Shape dough into a log and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
  5. Steam the foil-wrapped log for 60 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool completely, then unwrap and slice thinly.

Notes

  • For gluten-free, use chickpea flour. Texture will be slightly different but delicious.
  • Steaming time is critical for proper texture. Do not undercook.
  • Cool completely before slicing for best results.
  • Store refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
