NOTES : Expand your food horizons with this treasure of culinary ingenuity

dreamed up by one of our beloved and eccentric cohorts. In search of the perfect

meatless Reuben sandwich, he stumbled upon a blend of herbs and spices that when

combined with seitan mix and baked, results in the flavor and texture of

pastrami or salami. An obvious choice for an array of sandwich combinations,

this recipe is essential to an antipasto tray.
