Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

The spice mix consists of onion powder, paprika powder, grated nutmeg, caraway powder, and pepper. There shouldn’t be too little onion powder—about 1/4 is all you need. Mix the gluten powder, nutritional yeast, vegetable stock powder, and the spice mix together. Gradually and carefully add warm water (maximum 1:1) until a firm, homogeneous mass is formed. This will be very reminiscent of chewing gum and, if you try it, will be just as difficult to chew. Cut the mixture into approximately 1 cm thick slices and add to at least 1.5 liters of boiling water in a large pan or pot. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the consistency is very tender. Then drain. Put the butter in a pan and heat. When the butter is hot, add the schnitzels to the pan. Fry on both sides at medium heat until golden brown. This goes well with rice, vegetables such as peppers, but also potatoes, tzatziki, salad, and much more. Tip: You can also bread the schnitzel and/or serve it with lemon. Don’t do this too often due to the high gluten content. Occasionally, however, it’s one of the most delicious bites for vegetarians. It’s tasty for everyone and crispy and juicy.
