Gluten Free Baked Chik'n

Wow, I never expected this to come out so well.  This roast may be a bit time consuming, but it is worth it.  You can slice it and eat it with some gravy and mashed potatoes.  You can cut it into slices and make sandwiches with it.  It is delicious...if I do say so myself :)

This recipe yields a portion meant for 2.  You can easily double it for 4-5.

You will need:
-1 block extra firm tofu (pressed)
-1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
-1/8 cup tamari
-1/8 cup vegetable broth
-1 tsp dried sage
-1 tsp thyme
-1 tsp onion powder
-1 tsp minced garlic
-1 tsp paprika
- pinch of turmeric (to give it color)
- non stick cooking spray or other oil for the pan

What to do:
-Prep your steamer
-Combine all ingredients (except oil) in a food processor and blend it until it is creamy.  You are going to think it is too thin.  How could something of a hummus consistency turn into a beautiful, mouth watering roast?  Trust me...it will.
-Use a spatula to scrape out the mixture onto tin foil.
-Wrap it up tight.
-Pre-heat oven to 375
-Place into a steamer and let steam for 15-20 minutes.  This will help it start to firm and keep it moist.
-Once that is done, carefully unwrap the roast from the tin foil and place it in a greased pan.
-Cook at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.  The outside should be nice and crispy and golden brown.
-Let it cool before you begin to slice it up.  Cooling will help it further firm.
