Vegetarian salami???!
Vegetarian salami???
I have never seen a vegetarian salami, but I figured this would be a good place to ask if anyone knows of anyone who makes one. It's the only kind of meat my husband really, REALLY misses. I know I'm setting myself up for replies with links to adult toy sites and silly stuff like that, but come on, I'm serious! Since the taste of salami is mostly the spices it shouldn't be that hard to make. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
Here is a recipe that alot of people seem to like (plus a pepperoni variation). I have the stuff to make it, but have not had time so I cannot give an opinion. You can add more crushed garlic and black peppercorns, or whatever is in salami.

Seitan and the Great Becoming (by Lachesis on PPK)
I decided boiling seitan was just wrong, so after a few tries I decided to make my own recipe for it (a composite of a few of others, actually, but tweaked to my liking... based mostly on a recipe from another website):
The Recipe O' Greatness:
1.5 cups vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cumin
1-2 tsp pepper (I use 2 tsp)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp allspice
3/4 cups cold water
4 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp tamari (I edited this on 4.13.07 because I just now noticed it said ketchup all this time!)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1-3 cloves garlic, crushed well
Preheat oven to 325°.
In a large mixing bowl mix dry ingredients. Mix the rest of the ingredients (liquid ingredients) in a smaller mixing bowl. Whisk well until mixed.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well, then knead for several minutes.
Form into a log (6-8" long), wrap tightly in foil, twisting ends. Bake for 90 minutes. When done baking, unwrap and leave out to cool all the way. Then wrap it foil or plastic and refrigerate. Slice to use as desired.

Veggeroni (Seitan Pepperoni) from Fat Free Vegan
(with thanks to Joanne Stepaniak, Lachesis, and all the other inventive cooks who've been wrapping their seitan in foil and baking it)
Dry ingredients:
1 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
2-3 teaspoons Spanish smoked paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (use more for spicier pepperoni)
3/4 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Wet ingredients:
2 tablespoons cashew butter (may substitute peanut butter or tahini)
2/3 cup water
4 tablespoons ketchup or tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1/4 teaspoon agave nectar (optional, but definitely use if you use tomato sauce)
Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Put the cashew butter in a smaller bowl, and slowly mix in the water. Add the remaining wet ingredients to the small bowl and blend well.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry, stirring well (use your hands if necessary). Remove from the bowl and knead for a few minutes, making sure ingredients are distributed well.
Roll into a log shape, about 7 inches long. Place the log on foil and roll it up in the foil, twisting the ends to seal. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, turning over after 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and unwrap to cool. Slice as needed and store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge.
Notes:
This fit perfectly in my toaster oven, so I didn't have to heat up the whole kitchen.
I sliced it and used it as-is on pizza, pita pizza, wraps, and sandwiches, but you may want to slice it and pan-fry it to give it more of a real pepperoni feel.

People like meat because of seasoning so look at salami packages for what they season it with and add that seasoning to tofurkey lunch meat and it should taste good.
Tofurkey makes various mock meat deli slices. There may be one similiar to salami.

Vegitarians need to open there eyes. God put all these animals on earth for our consumption. Meat is meant to be eaten. Have you ever seen a healthy looking vegitarian, no!! They are grey and skinny, no muscle because not enough vitamins minerals and protien from meat products.
