No Turkey slice deli faux meat

• 130g (1/2 cup) canned Kidney beans, drained and rinsed. • 3 Tbsp olive oil • 1 cup water • 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce • 1 tsp vegan Worcester sauce • 4 Tbsp nutritional yeast • 2 tsp onion powder • 0.5 tsp sea salt

• 0.5 tsp liquid smoke • 1.5 tsp dried sage • 1.5 tsp dried thyme • 1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten

In the food processor add the nutritional yeast flakes, onion powder, salt, sage and thyme until the yeast flakes are like a powder and the herbs get crushed. Remove and set aside.

In the food processor, add the beans mash until really creamy. Transfer to a large bowl.

Mix together the water, olive oil, soy and Worcester sauce in a pyrex measuring jug then whisk in the yeast and seasonings. Pour a little over the beans and whisk to incorporate, slowly add the rest of the liquid whisking all the while until mixed.

Add the wheat gluten and mix well until it comes together. Knead a few times until you have a large, wide oval loaf. The texture should be feeling wet.

Wrap the loaf up in foil, sealing the edges well and steam for 50 mins. Do check the water levels now and again as it can easily boil dry!

Preheat the oven to 160C fan oven (or 180C if non fan) when there is about 15 minutes left of steaming. Place the foil wrapped loaf directly in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool then it's ready to be sliced thin for sandwiches.

Freeze if needed for later.
