With a name like Seitan, I just had to try the recipe. So, I followed the Seitan O’Greatness recipe and created my first homemade log of un-meat.
Interesting!
Before it was completely cool, my husband and kids started cutting pieces off. I was afraid they’d eat up so much that we wouldn’t have any for other meals. But we did. We had lots! This stuff goes a l o o o o n n n g way.
What is it? At it’s most basic, seitan is gluten, water, oil and spices either boiled or baked. It has a chewy, meat-like texture and the spice mixtures often mimic that of sausages and deli meats to make really good un-meat pepperonis and salamis. The stuff is pure protein.
Have you ever eaten seitan? What did you think? Do you make it regularly? What are your spice combos?

[...] Honestly, with a log of Seitan in the fridge, my schwarmas take maybe 10 minutes to get from fridge to table. The Seitan is easy to make, too. Check out my other post. [...]

breakfast foods should always be high in protein and also in carbohydrates, we need food energy during the early morning ‘~.
I have been looking for a good seitan recipe to try out. I have tried some in the past that tasted pretty crummy. I also need to find one that my children (who are meataterians), will be willing to eat. Its not easy being the only vegetarian in the house! Thanks for sharing!
