I love slow-cooker recipes, but it's never occurred to me to do seitan that way! Thanks. :)
 

I really like making your seitan roast. Although it's been a learning experience. The first time I made it, I put the veggies on top, and ended up with veggies embedded in the seitan. The last time I made it, I wrapped the roast in cheesecloth, which was great because there were no embedded veggies, and the texture was firmer.

My only "problem" has been seasoning. I make the seitan from scratch, from the recipe in the same book. Which I don't think is all that much work. However, once I have the raw seitan I can't work in the seasonings well.

Next time I'm going to try mixing the seasonings into the seitan with the dough blade in my food processor to see if that works.

On a side note, I'm also a huge fan of your slow cooker sloppy lentils recipe.

Thanks for the recipes.
 

Hi Scott, I'm glad you've been enjoying slow-cooker seitan. Wrapping the roast in cheesecloth really does a great job in giving the roast a nice shape and keeping the veggies from embedding themselves in it. I do that sometimes, too. To pre-season the seitan, just add the seasonings to the seitan mixture BEFORE you mix it - add dried spices to the dry mixture and liquid seasonings (soy sauce, etc.) to the wet mixture. ALso, I often mix my seitan in the food processor and it works great! You can find some of my "well seasoned" slow cooker seitan roast recipes in Vegan on the Cheap as well as on the links in this post to the previous posts for slow-cooker seitan pot roast and corned seitan.
 

Thanks so much for re-posting this recipe. I made it for the first time yesterday, and we loved it. I like the very firm texture the slow simmer gives to the seitan, and I'd never thought of making it in the crockpot.
 

Looks fantastic. You have the best "meaty" recipes.
 

You "pot roast" looks great! I would love to have a copy of vegan unplugged.
 

That looks so, so, so good!
