Vegan kulen
there's work to be done around it, but it's worth the effort!
Preparation steps
- boil soy flakes in water seasoned with vegeta, drain, combine with oatmeal and mix with a stick mixer, leave to stand for a while
- boil soybean pieces, drain, cool, chop into smaller pieces, add to flakes
- e now add spices, stir constantly (I'm a cooker), until everything is nicely combined and the mixture is evenly seasoned whole
- fill the mixture into an artificial "hose" for kulen (buy in a butcher's shop), through a meat grinder, on a special attachment for sausages and kulen, make sure that it does not enter, ie that no air remains - pierce the kulen with a little bubble before smoking - when the hose a lot, tie it up and put it to smoke - we smoke for 7 days, that was enough for us, the kulen was slightly reduced, ie "calibrated", it cut nicely, nothing crumbled, the intestine was super peeled, the taste was fantastic!
- note: pay attention to the quality of ground pepper, a lot depends on the color and taste of kulen (best to buy "homemade" from a grandmother at the market)
- from this mixture after smoking we got 2 kulen of about 750 grams each
Serving
In my picture - served with smoked spicy seitan as a tray with slices. This kulen is also perfect in hot sandwiches with tofu cheese.
