[…] so it can burst out of its casing if too tightly wrapped. I use the steaming method when I make seitan sausages. You can use whole-grain wheat or spelt instead of the farro, or even easier as it doesn’t […]

Omg!! I made these last night and I added some organic maple syrup, caraway seeds, red hot pepper flakes and about 4 tsp of vegan ham base. I rolled them a tad bit thicker.. and these tasted just like a breakfast sausage. The farro gives it such a good sausage texture. I promise you won’t miss the real thing. Added some tofu scramble with some black salt and you have yourself a lovely breakfast burrito.

Super! I am leaning more and more towards making my own Vegan staples and this fits the bill. I am a fan of farro, too. Thank you. I think it is so amazing to create a “meat substitute” without any butchery in the serenity and safety of one’s kitchen. I almost feel as empowered as plants who make their own food.

In reply to A Magical Life. This recipe is super-dependent upon vital wheat gluten, and I'm not that familiar with gf subs, so I'm not sure I would have very good advice, sorry!I do know that Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten-free flour, but I've never tried it. Maybe that could be subbed here for a similar texture? Good luck!

I got all excited at this recipe when it came in my inbox but we’re gluten free. I’ve never found a good sub for wheat gluten. I’m guessing this would fail spectacularly without it. Any suggestions on what to use for the chew and sticking factor of wheat gluten for those of us who are GF?

In reply to maureen. Maureen, Check on amazon or google "dried shiitake mushrooms" for more options. You can also find them at most Asian supermarkets. Good luck!

where do you get the large dried shitake mushrooms that would give you 3/4 cup grounded up?
