Seitan is becoming a popular food at our house. We use it to make Seitan Schwarmas almost exclusively and everybody in this house loves them. I love them not because they taste so fantastic but because they are totally frakking easy to make.
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.
The big thing, though, is finding alternative spice mixes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original mix, but every cook likes to adapt a tried and true recipe to reflect their own quirky tastes and what they have on hand. I’m no different.

This looks tasty. We haven’t gotten into Seitan at our house, maybe it’s time we give it a try!
