Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup walnuts -- whole

1/4 cup walnuts -- chopped

1 onion -- finely chopped

1 chili -- seeds removed, chopped

3 cloves garlic -- chopped

2 tablespoons raisins

1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder

14 ounce canned tomatoes

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 cloves

1 Pinch salt

1 carrot -- sliced

1 1/4 cups water or vegetable stock

2 pounds seitan -- cubed similar to steak tips

 

In a food processor or blender, puree the whole walnuts, onion, chili, garlic,

raisins, cocoa powder and tomatoes. The mixture should resemble a smooth

chocolate shake.

 

In a large pan, heat the oil then sprinkle in the cinnamon, cloves and salt.

Stir for a moment or two, then add the sliced carrot and cook for 1 minute.

 

Add the chopped walnuts and pureed mixture to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan. Slowly add the

stock or water and mix until blended.

 

Add the seitan cubes to the pan and mix thoroughly to coat. Simmer for about 10

minutes, letting seitan heat thoroughly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.

 

Serve over rice or steamed potatoes.

NOTES : Wells challenges the American palate with familiar spices in new and

unusual ways, as in her recipe for Chocolate Beef Stew, which substitutes

Seitan, a dense protein formed from the gluten of wheat flour, for beef.
