Vegetable Fricassee is simmered fried gluten with vegetables then poured with cheesy sauce. This is a vegetarian version where you use gluten or vegemeat instead of chicken fillet. Gluten can be bought or you can make it yourself. I also have a recipe on how to make gluten where all you have to do is buy gluten flour and mix it with water to make a gluten dough.
