Vegan Corned Beef - Vegan and Oil-free Recipes - ZardyPlants

Ingredients

• 1-15 oz can (or 1 ½ cups) cooked black or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• ¾ cup hot water
• 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon Vegan BEEF Base (see note 3)
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ⅔ cup pitted kalamata olives
• ⅔ cup brine from the kalamata olives jar (this is key for that briney tang)
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 3 cups vital wheat gluten
• ¼ cup coconut or organic brown sugar
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp each coriander and ground mustard
• 1 tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp espresso powder or 1 tsp ground coffee (such a good addition!)
• 1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper IF you’re making pastrami. I’d leave it out for corned beef.
