> Is anyone using seitan as a protein?

 

I love the stuff, and have been buying vital wheat gluten in bulk from

The Mail Order Catalog http://www.healthy-eating.com since the late

1970's.

 

If you visit the Post Punk Kitchen:

http://www.theppk.com

and look over the recipe and forum sections you'll find lots of recipes

for it. Also, the books by Bryanna Clark Grogan and Joanne Stepaniak,

Sarah Kramer - just about every vegan chef - has their own take on

seitan.

 

This past week I made the Sautéed Seitan with Mushrooms & Spinach, and

next week will have Seitan Piccata with Olives & Green Beans, both

recipes from Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.

 

I didn't read the rest of the posts, only skimmed, but see someone else

already mentioned the Seitan O'Greatness, the best baked seitan I ever

had. My son finds baked seitan a bit too chewy, but I love it to use in

dishes that require slices to bread or add with sauces - the baking

gives it more firmness to hold up to the sauces.

 

Seitan is a staple in this house.
