Upgraded VEGAN HAM: Easier & Better

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I asked the community for help in improving this recipe, and you came through. By testing your ideas I was able to improve the texture and flavor of my last ham recipe as well as make it more efficient with less time watching the pot.

My camera (Sony Z-V1): amzn.to/3XYYDDV
Recipe:
Wet seasonings:
- 3/4 C or 180 ml of water
- 5 oz or 140g of extra firm tofu
- 2 T Liquid smoke
- 10 drops red food dye (McCormick's brand works best)
Dry Seasonings:
- 4 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 T sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp MSG
- ¼ C Mushroom powder
- 2 T Chickpea Flour
- 2 C or 250 grams VWG
Fat:
- 3 tsp refined coconut oil or vegan butter
Glaze:
- ¼-¾ C sugar
- 1 tsp molasses
- 1 squirt of agave
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp any vinegar
- pinch of cayenne
- Several cracks of freshly ground black pepper
- A dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 5-10 whole cloves
Steps:
- Add in all wet ingredients to a food processor and run it for 30 seconds, the tofu should be liquified
- Add everything else except for the VWG, process again high for 10 seconds
- Add in your VWG and run on low for 3 minutes
- If yours starts to struggle, take out roughly half and process it in two batches for the remaining time.
- Take half of of the dough and stretch it into an oval about 7-8’ long. Do the same with the other half.
- Apply the refined coconut oil in three separate scoops lengthwise on one of the ovals.
- Take the non-oiled other half of the dough and stretch it over the dough with the fat, pinching the two sides together, turning them back into one loaf.
- Keep pinching and pressing until it is all back together, if needed, rest for 15-minutes to overnight to gain back pliability.
- Take a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and roll the dough into tube shaped package, lite a tootsie roll, crimping the ends.
- Bake at 350F/175C on a baking sheet on the middle rack or 1.5 hours
- Heat your simmer stock in a large oven safe pot, like a dutch oven, getting that to a boil on stove while the roast bakes
- After bake internal middle-temp should be around 200F
- Unwrap, add baked ham to dutch oven in boiling stock and turn off heat, if it is not floating, add more hot water until it floats.
- Add a lid, slightly cracked, in stock at 350F/175C for 1.5 hours
- Internal temp should be above 170F after the wet bake
- Let the pot with the stock and the baked ham cool to room temp, and rest in stock overnight in the fridge, preferably in the dutch oven (this will save you dishes if you’re serving the next day).
- Day of serving, take the ham out of the fridge to allow it to get back to room temp before serving.
- Whisk together glaze ingredients, adding more sugar if needed to create a thick sauce.
- Score your ham in a cross hatch or whatever pattern you like. I say a "half inch" in the video but meant "quarter inch"
- Leave some of the cooking stock in the bottom of the pot, add 5-10 whole cloves to the liquid. add a steaming rack, with your ham on top.
- Glaze generously and add 350F/175C oven for 20 minutes.
- Glaze again, putting the ham back in the oven for another 20.
- Repeat 20 minute bake/glaze if needed.
- Optional: Use a torch to brown the glaze on the ham
- Eat!

    This is certainly a big step up from the last recipe, but there is still room for improvement. While it has a way better texture, that did sacrifice some of the “juiciness” that the last version had. If anyone wants to experiment with me, here are some ideas to test out (I’d only try one of these at a time). If you do, let me know the results! I’ll likely do another version with inputs from the community: - Reducing the bake time by 30 minutes (make sure the roast is above 170F at the end if you do) - Increasing hydration/water by 10-20% - Glazing and serving the day of the cook (instead of resting overnight) - Steaming instead of baking - Subbing the chickpea flour for another protein, like soy or pea

    These are great alterations; I think the 86 Eats blog was the first to recommend chucking everything in a food processor and letting it whip, which I resisted for a long time, but it really helps to form the correct seitan texture if using VWG powder. Will make the previous recipe for one Easter and this one for the other [American, but raised Eastern Orthodox, which uses a different religious calendar], and see which one I want to use henceforth. Thanks so much for posting this updated recipe : )

Just combine in a mixer till you get that perfect wet sand consistency! To get dark brown sugar, just double the molasses quantity. I am not vegan but these videos are so intriguing! Thanks!

Really good insight. Glad you like the videos, you know, I call this ham, but only so people know what to expect as far as the flavor goes. I consider seitan its own food (not just a meat analogue). Let me know if you ever give this or any of my recipes a whirl.

    @Bold Flavor Vegan Hi - just completed the ham cook and cool-down. Here are my notes... I will include only what/where I varied from your original. •Wet Ingredients: I used only 1 T Liquid Smoke •Dry Ingredients: I used only 2 T Sugar & no MSG. •Mixing Wet & Dry: I used dough hook on stand mixer @ Low - Med - then Low speeds and added additional 5 T H2O... until I saw long gluten strands forming (it looked pretty granulated early on). Total time = 12 minutes. •"Fat" was 3 tsp of refined coconut oil (firm) seasoned with 1 tsp broth base (below). •Stock: 8 Cups H2O with 8 tsp Orington Farms Vegan Ham flavored powdered broth base, 10 whole cloves, 10 whole All Spice dried berries. •Stock brought to boil with trivet on bottom of enameled dutch oven (6 Qt). •"Ham" twice wrapped in unbleached linen and secured wrap with slender skewers. •Placed in oven @ 270 F, lid on, with ham on trivet. •Cooked 1 hour then turned over and cooked additional 45 minutes, lid on. •Allowed to come to room temp after 200 F internal temp. •Cut in half, where one half will be glazed tomorrow, the other was put into freezer @ -10 F (no defrost). •My impression: Keep in mind I haven't had a slice of ham in nearly 40 years, and I wanted to make this so that I could once again enjoy (yes, friends, ENJOY) a "Hawaiian Pizza". :) •I checked this with a couple of friends, keep in mind that no glaze has yet been applied, and the texture is pretty spot on. I left a thin slice on the counter for 20 minutes and it dried much as I remember ham to do so back in the day. So (1 = low; 5 = high): Taste: 4.5 of 5 Texture: 4.5 of 5 Cook Difficulty: 2 of 5 Final Cook Weight: 1 lb, 12 oz. Next time: I will probably add a few more tsp of "seasoned fat" and distribute among 3 layers. Tomorrow I will steam the ham up to 165 F, and then wrap it in two layers of textured rice paper seasoned/moistened using the glaze and bake until rice paper begins to crisp. I think you've done a wonderful ham recipe here that withstood my hacking. My honest appreciation goes out to your efforts! Cheers, Friend!

    Awesome! So, so happy you and your husband enjoyed! Please do experiment with different seasoning levels/mixes, would be interested to hear what you come up with. A lot of the flavor of ham comes from the salt and the fat as animal-based ham is INCREDIBLY high in sodium, so upping the salt content might help (but I wouldn't go more then 2x as salt does hinder gluten formation). As far as the fat, searing these as slices real quick with butter or a high quality oil might help bring out more of a ham flavor as well. This is always the push/pull with seitan recipe development, I always want to add more fat/salt but that comes at the expense of texture (hence sandwiching it IN the loaf).

    @@BoldFlavorVegan Hi - just completed the ham cook and cool-down. Here are my notes... I will include only what/where I varied from your original. •Wet Ingredients: I used only 1 T Liquid Smoke •Dry Ingredients: I used only 2 T Sugar & no MSG. •Mixing Wet & Dry: I used dough hook on stand mixer @ Low - Med - then Low speeds and added additional 5 T H2O... until I saw long gluten strands forming (it looked pretty granulated early on). Total time = 12 minutes. •"Fat" was 3 tsp of refined coconut oil (firm) seasoned with 1 tsp broth base (below). •Stock: 8 Cups H2O with 8 tsp Orington Farms Vegan Ham flavored powdered broth base, 10 whole cloves, 10 whole All Spice dried berries. •Stock brought to boil with trivet on bottom of enameled dutch oven (6 Qt). •"Ham" twice wrapped in unbleached linen and secured wrap with slender skewers. •Placed in oven @ 270 F, lid on, with ham on trivet. •Cooked 1 hour then turned over and cooked additional 45 minutes, lid on. •Allowed to come to room temp after 200 F internal temp. •Cut in half, where one half will be glazed tomorrow, the other was put into freezer @ -10 F (no defrost). •My impression: Keep in mind I haven't had a slice of ham in nearly 40 years, and I wanted to make this so that I could once again enjoy (yes, friends, ENJOY) a "Hawaiian Pizza". :) •I checked this with a couple of friends, keep in mind that no glaze has yet been applied, and the texture is pretty spot on. I left a thin slice on the counter for 20 minutes and it dried much as I remember ham to do so back in the day. So (1 = low; 5 = high): Taste: 4.5 of 5 Texture: 4.5 of 5 Cook Difficulty: 2 of 5 Final Cook Weight: 1 lb, 12 oz. Next time: I will probably add a few more tsp of "seasoned fat" and distribute among 3 layers. Tomorrow I will steam the ham up to 165 F, and then wrap it in two layers of textured rice paper seasoned/moistened using the glaze and bake until rice paper begins to crisp. I think you've done a wonderful ham recipe here that withstood my hacking. My honest appreciation goes out to your efforts! Cheers, Friend!

    I bet if you reduced the hydration by another 10% or so (or left out the tofu) I bet it would be even more like a salami. That is just a guess though that I haven't tested.

    @Bold Flavor Vegan actually thats just what I did. Reduced the water a bit, removed tofu, but added pasta boiled in a spice broth. The texture was denser when I let the noodles dry a bit before adding to the mix. Otherwise, it ended up a little softer.

    Can @boldflavorvegan you put version #s on your videos to help us know which is most recent? I'm getting lost with all these 'updates' and versions and everyone's comments. Some people say not to even use tofu or the flours, others say you must use them. I wish there was some way to rate the recipes and compare side-by-side what the results are, and keep things straight. Having said that, I tried a recipe a while back and was happy with the results. I tried the 'improved' recipe last night, using all-purpose flour, and it has great taste, but the texture is very crumbly. I'm going to try this recipe to see if the chick pea flour makes a difference to the texture, plus putting it in the food processor. I don't see whether the tofu is supposed to be drained and pressed though. Did I miss it? It shows a tofu package, but he pulls the tofu out of a storage container, which leads me to believe it was drained/pressed.

    I meant to include this in the video but forgot: The active time for the processing and prep is around 15-30 min total depending on how fast you get your ingredients prepped and if you need to rest your dough, the biggest thing to plan for is being home for the 3 hours of oven time. I built this so you can go do something else during the cooking process (vs watching a simmering pot). The glaze is actually the most active part, but really just requires setting a timer and checking it so it doesn't burn.

    It's not mixed, brown sugar is sugar in it's integral form, so it contains more minerals from the sugar cane. Molasses are also made of sugar cane, it's liquid is boiled and reduced, sugar crystals (brown sugar) is separated and you get the syrup. After refining brown sugar to get pure sugar, without its minerals, it will be white and neutral in flavor.

    Another option is to use something like a cheese cloth. (Though, I would check if you can put those in the oven) I know they have been used if you are doing the simmering or steaming methods. The main thing you are doing is forming the shape & making sure the seitan doesn't expand while cooking. Hope this helps!
