recipe reviews for:

Vegetarian Ribs

“These ribs may be made with some pretty odd ingredients, but they really taste great! They are not difficult to make, and are very forgiving. However, it takes a certain amount of trust to make them. Even if your mix looks and feels like a huge mistake, keep on going, and bake it. The first time I made these, I did everything wrong, and they were still delicious. Even my excessively carniverous husband liked them. These are great comfort food, and really stick to your ribs!”

I have been looking at this recipe for a very loooooong time and I FINALLY tried it and I must say that I regret the precious years that I have wasted NOT trying this. These are DELICIOUS! I was hesitant to try this as I have yet to find one gluten recipe that I liked as they all tasted like strange dough to me. This did not. Not sure what the one star reviewers are saying. Maybe they are doing it wrong. I dumped everything in the bowl, like one reviewer suggested and it was quick and easy. Chango! Presto! It was even delicious before I put the BBQ sauce and I will use this as an overall base for meat substitutes in my recipes. Chopped up in eggs, lo mein...ah the possibilities are endless. Even my finicky son and carnivore husband loved this. Try it!

I really was hopeful about these after reading the reviews, but I just couldn't eat them. My parents thought they were tolerable. It was fun to make though, the dough is like play-doh.

Wasn't so sure about these as I was putting them in the pan. It reminded me of wet silly putty! But I baked them up and they were excellent (for vegetarian ribs)! I haven't eaten meat in a year and I really miss bbq sauce. I really enjoyed this meal. My kids and husband ate them up also!

Amazing! As a couple who are doing a one year vegetarian challenge, this recipe was so welcome as it was delicious and makes you feel like you're eating meat. The gluten mixture seemed very liquidy but baked up really well - a bit too well with a convection oven so we will try the regular setting next time, and perhaps baking it a little less. All in all - LOVED this one.

I have tried multiple different versions of seitan and this one is by far the best. Like another reviewer suggested, I just dump everything together and stir and it still turns out amazing every time. Thank you so much for a deliciously quick and easy way for vegetarians to enjoy that bbq!

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! My husband and I were missing biting into something "meaty" so I found this recipe and was sooo impressed with the texture and flavour. The recipe was very quick, easy and very forgiving: I made a couple little changes, like others, by adding liquid smoke and some browning liquid, as well as mixing everything together instead of bothering with coating the gluten mixture. Even with these changes it still worked great. It's now a definite "regular" in our meal plan.

These were AMAZING! My carnivorous husband said it was the best vegetarian food he's ever eaten in the 16 years we've been together. The only thing different I did is used sunflower butter instead of peanut cause I have an allergy. It only took about ten minutes to prepare.

I'm sorry but, I really did not like this. Neither did my husband or my stepdaughter. I've never met a food my stepdaughter didn't like until now. It tasted like a mushy, chewy lump of dough. It was very bland. What flavor it did have was somewhat bitter. I thought the flavor of the BBQ sauce would mask the odd flavor of the "ribs" but, it did not.

These are really good! I had it with salad, but I don;t recommend. A better side dish would be plain rice or a baked potato, because the taste in these "ribs" is really strong. I added more seasoning to the mixture, including roasted garlic. I think I might have made them not thick enough, because the bottom was somewhat crunchy. Or perhaps 50 min in the over is a bit much for some ovens. Anyway, will definitely make it again when I am craving meat!
