Instructions

 

For the Stuffing:

  • Sautee chopped onion and celery in olive oil for 5-10 minutes, or until onion is nearly clear.
  • Mix onion, celery, and remaining stuffing ingredients in a large bowl, then pour into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes covered, then for an additional 5-10 minutes uncovered.

For the Roast:

  • Place all roast ingredients except gluten flour in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Place tofu mixture in a bowl. Slowly mix in vital wheat gluten about 1/4 cup at a time (until you reach about 1 cup). Adjust amount of gluten flour as needed. Very little dough should be sticking to the side of your mixing bowl.
  • Separate dough into 2 equal halves, then press each half into the bottom of a shallow bowl, until the dough extends about 1/2 inch up the side of the bowl.
  • Spoon about 1 1/2 cup prepared stuffing into the center of one half. Press stuffing into dome. Place other dough half on top of dome, and press dough edges together.
  • Place several cups of water in steamer and bring to boil. Wrap roast snuggly in cheese cloth, followed by aluminum foil, and place in steamer. Cover and steam for 1 hour.
  • Remove roast from steamer, and remove aluminum foil and cheese cloth.
  • Place roast in a baking dish, and pour baste over it. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check roast after 45 minutes of baking to re-baste, as needed.
  • Serve and enjoy!
