What is plant based chorizo made of?
Chef's answer
In our recipe for vegan chorizo we use two ingredients commonly relied upon when imitating meat: Vital wheat gluten and soy mince. Vital wheat gluten is a protein rich powder made from wheat flour and is the main ingredient of the meat substitute seitan. It helps to bind the vegan chorizo and give it a firm texture.
