Ingredients

1 cup vital wheat gluten (or chickpea flour for gluten-free option)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, tomato paste, oil, soy sauce, and liquid smoke.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two portions and shape into logs.
Wrap each log tightly in aluminum foil.
Steam the wrapped logs for 30–40 minutes until firm.
Allow the salami to cool completely before unwrapping and slicing.

Notes

Cooling fully helps achieve the best firm, sliceable texture.
Adjust spices to suit your flavor preference.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Slice thinly for sandwiches or charcuterie boards.
