favorite (mock) roast recipe

HI! We're going to my mom's this year for a combined St. Patrick's Day/early easter dinner. I was thinking I would bring a mock roast for my own vegetarian family (husband plus three kids) to eat since my mom will probably make corned beef. I usually don't make mock roasts and especially not to bring to my (mocking) family gatherings--so I was wondering if anyone had a favorite veg roast recipe. I've been eyeing the roobibos unchuck roast recipe, but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Use a vegetarian beef or chicken broth if you like, but MAKE that unchuck roast! It is remarkably persuasive to non- vegetarians.

Thank you very much. I actually bought a package of that tea yesterday when shopping but I am not sure what the end flavor is for the roast when using it.

When I make chicken-style cutlets I always use the combination of spices you suggest for the broth. They really give it a depth of flavor frequently lacking from other veg recipes.

Thank you so much for this site. It is such a great resource.

Just one more question--I'm sorry to be so annoying. I do not have an automatic bread machine but I do have a good kitchenaid stand mixer. Can you give me some idea of how much kneading would equal one cycle of the automatic bread machine?

Thanks again!

Not annoy9ng. About 20 minutes, and it really needs the hour rest in betwwen the two kneads.
