water

liquid smoke

sesame oil, toasted

dijon mustard

maple syrup

nutritional yeast

salt

garlic

onion

cloves

(400 grams) extra firm tofu

red food colouring (optional for colour)

vital wheat gluten

(for decorating- optional)

better than beef bouillon

brown sugar, packed

apple cider vinegar

To make mock ham

Drain tofu, wrap in paper towels and squeeze out extra moisture with your hands. Break into chunks and add to food processor with rest of  ingredients EXCEPT GLUTEN and process until smooth like a puree

Now add vital wheat gluten evenly over the top and mix until just combined, it's ok if you see a bit of flour on top.

Turn dough onto counter and knead 20-25 times and form into a ham shaped loaf.

Wrap tightly and completely with a large piece of tin foil and place in a steamer insert of a steamer pot. Fill the base of the pot with water making sure it doesn't touch the steamer insert. Cover and steam for 1 hour. Flip half way though cooking time and add more water if it's getting to low

While ham is steaming preheat oven to 375° and whisk the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

To glaze and bake: 

Unwrap ham, place on cutting board. Score the ham in a crisscross pattern (shallow cuts) and decorate with whole cloves if desired. Place in a small casserole dish (just a little bigger than the roast) pour over the maple glaze. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes basting generously with the glaze every 10 minutes. Remove from oven spoon over more glaze. Cool for a couple minutes, slice and serve. Enjoy any night of the week or with all the holiday fixings like vegan scalloped potatoes, or mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cornbread, roasted vegetables, pumpkin pie for dessert! or slice thin for ham sandwiches! Mmm. For step by step photos see above post

I am new to vegan food. I don't know what seitan should taste like and I don't think this recipe actually tastes like ham. Having said that, it really does taste very good indeed and the recipe was very easy to follow and the end result looked just like your picture. I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

Made this for Christmas dinner. I was nervous because I wasn't able to do a test run. It turned out perfect. Everyone loved it, even my youngest who is very picky. (Although it's very good, it didn't taste like ham to me. Everyone else said they thought it did.)

Amazing recipe thank you so much. We have been vegan for 12 years and this is my first attempt at vegan ham, awesome !

Made this for Easter and it's so good!  I used 1/2 block of Tofu and about 1/2 cup of cannellini beans and the texture was perfect.  Great recipe for holidays!
