On my quest to rename bizarre sounding vegan food, I would like to set my sights on seitan.
Pronounced sort of like this Satan (on the left), but with an emphasis on the “a.” Miserable name for an awesome protein packed food.
Seitan is wheat gluten that can be made into many different mock meats (like Tofurkey) or just used on its own. It is also really common in vegan or vegetarian Asian restaurants and is most often used as “mock duck” or “mock chicken.”
I just like to think of it as delightful.
This recipe is from the holiday issue of Veg News Magazine and is for all of you folks that love SWEET and SAVORY.
It is like a dessert and dinner all rolled into one… Who doesn’t love that!
See some more photos and the recipe after the jump!
