Easy Seitan

If you want to make your own “sausage” instead of using store-bought plant-based sausage, try this recipe and discover the miracle of seitan, if you haven’t already. Of course this is not for those who are gluten-free or avoid wheat for any reason.

For years I thought seitan was very mysterious and only for the most adept cooks. I give credit to Julie Hasson in Vegan Diner for breaking the spell and getting me to try making it. It’s loads of fun. When you make a batch, you will probably wind up freezing some—it freezes and thaws beautifully and has loads of uses: in bowl or plate meals, in stews, in sandwiches, etc.
