Corned "Beef" Seitan

I finally got permission from omni man to raise our daughter vegan. She's not really pleased about giving up her chicken nuggets, and other favorite foods. So I'm trying to show her that eating vegan can be delicious. I've been really craving Reuben sandwiches lately, so I decided to try and make a vegan corned beef substitute. I found a recipe for it on Vegan Dad's blog here. I adapted it to come up with this recipe. I loved it and can't wait to make Reubens tomorrow.

1/4 c tvp
1/4 c black beans
3/4 c water
1/4 c Braggs liquid aminos
1/8 tsp Hickory Smoke
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp season salt
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tbsp ginger
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 1/4 c (1 box) vital wheat gluten

Place tvp, and black beans in blender until smooth. Add in all the other ingredient except for wheat gluten. Pour the mixture into a medium sized mixing bowl, and add in the wheat gluten. Knead for a couple of minutes, and roll into a log. Wrap the log in foil, and twist the ends. Steam for 45-60 minutes. The seitan will swell against the foil before it done. Let cool a little, and then slice.
