Instructions
-
Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms. Cook and stir until very brown for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Drizzle truffle oil on top and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool while you make the seitan.
-
Measure vital wheat gluten into a large bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon-pepper seasoning.
-
Mix cold water and wine together in a separate bowl. Stir in molasses and liquid smoke until dissolved. Add liquid mixture to vital wheat gluten and stir to a dough-like consistency.
-
Separate dough into 2 rolls and knead each for a few minutes until the dough feels similar to pizza dough. Stretch each portion into an 8×10-inch oblong, being careful not to create holes in the dough.
-
Spread cooled mushroom mixture equally onto each dough oblong and roll up tightly, like a jelly roll. Wrap each roll with aluminum foil and twist ends closed tightly.
-
Place a steamer insert into a large saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add aluminum-foil-wrapped seitan rolls, cover, and steam for 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Unwrap steamed seitan rolls and place in a roasting pan. Baste with olive oil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until browned for about 20 minutes.
