Panfried savoury wheat gluten Seitan basted in a smoky tangy citrus tamarind paprika sauce; Sautéed Barbecue Seitan.
Grip something meaty into your hands. And, bite.
This dish will burst your belief that vegan food can’t be fulfilling.
Make this:
- When it’s blistering summer and a last-minute barbeque is being called for and you need a “wow” dish to satiate you and your mates
- When Uncle Ben is coming for dinner and a dish let you have a word in edgeways is called for
- When you’ve got a potluck picnic and a dish to appease your cohorts is
Sautéed Barbecue Seitan was inspired when attending a potluck where one of the guests had made these and everyone was salivating over them.
Seitan is a protein rich plant-based meat replacement made from vital wheat gluten and a stable in Asian dishes.
