2016-12-30-13-56-47I’ve  been using seitan for a long time, because is very versatile and delicious. It can be made with lots of flavors and textures, and is a great source of protein and is low in calories.

You can buy pre-packaged seitan but it is less expensive to make your own, this recipe will produce seitan that is even better than the one you buy because you can adapt to your taste, choosing what flavors and spices go into it and which texture you want it to have, and the most important thing, you know exactly what you are eating, with no preservatives or additives.

My recipe is quite plane (but still incredibly tasty 😉 so that it will work in any dish, but feel free to play around with flavors and shapes.

This recipe was tried many many times and is a true favourite.
