Ingredients

  • Chickpeas: 15 Oz

  • Vegetable broth: 3/4 Cups

  • Oil: 2 Tbs

  • Nutritional Yeast: 2 Tbs

  • Tomato Paste: 1/4 Cup

  • Liquid Smoke: 1 Tbs

  • Maple Syrup: 1 Tbs

  • Paprika: 1 Tsp

  • Ground Cloves: 1/4 tsp

  • Onion Powder: 1 tsp

  • Garlic Powder: 1/2 tsp

  • Vital Wheat Gluten: 1 1/2 Cups

  • Vegetable Broth: 3 Cups for boiling

  • Maple Glaze

  • Butter: 4 Tbs

  • Maple Syrup: 1/2 Cup

  • Dijon Mustard: 1 Tbs

  • Cinnamon: 1/2 tsp

  • Finishing

  • Whole Cloves: 12-16

  • Pineapple Rings

Directions

  • In a blender or food processor, add the drained chickpeas, broth, olive oil, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, liquid smoke, maple syrup, paprika, cloves, onion powder and garlic powder and blend or process until smooth.
  • Add the vital wheat gluten to the bowl and start to mix it into the wet ingredients with a spatula or spoon, then use your hands and mix until it starts to come together.
  • Place the loaf on the steamer basket with about 3 cups of broth on the bottom for steaming, but don't let the ham sit in the broth. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so it’s simmering but not boiling too hard. Steam for 1 hour, and make sure to add more broth if it evaporates too soon. You can pour some additional broth over the roast halfway through.
  • Mix together all glaze ingredients and set aside.
  • Place the steamed ham in a casserole dish or a pan with a rim, and score it in a crisscross pattern. You can stick whole cloves in the diamonds if desired.
  • Pour about 1/2 of the glaze over the loaf and place pineapple rings around the roast. Cook for 30 minutes.
