  • 15 oz can chickpeas, drained
  • 250 g mushrooms,
  • 1/2 c cornmeal
  • 1-1/2 c vital wheat gluten
  • 3 Tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1 large white onion, finely diced

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 c vegetable broth
  • 1/3 c ketchup

  • Saute diced onion with water or vegetable broth until translucent. Set aside to cool.⁠
  • Process chickpeas and mushrooms together until crumbly, but not quite a paste.⁠

  • Mix liquid into dry and mix well.⁠
  • Add vital wheat gluten and mix well for 2-3 minutes.⁠
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprayed foil or a Silpat mat, pour your mixture. Using your hands, press into a bone shape or any other “spooky” shape you desire (if making for Halloween)! You could also use a themed cake pan.⁠
  • Coat with a thick layer of BBQ sauce.⁠
  • Bake for 1 hr 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You can start checking around the 1 hr mark.⁠
  • Let sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.⁠
