Seitan Cheesesteaks!

I had the pleasure of hanging out with some friends, whom happen to be one amazing and lovely family, a few weeks back. For the first time, and hopefully not the last on this blog, here is a meal prepared with friends. Enjoy, we sure did!

And are they not just the cutest family, EVER?

So, mushrooms and a green bell pepper, sliced. [I don't really have photos from every step, wasn't trying to be a photogeek.]

Onion.

Lindsay made this AMAZING Seitan the night before. And let me just tell you, it was oh so good. She wrote the recipe down for me and I shall share it with you:

Lindsay's Seitan "O" Greatness

Preheat oven to 325.

1 1/2 c. vital wheat gluten flour

1/4 c. Nutritional Yeast

1 tsp. Salt

2 tsp. Paprika

1/4 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Cumin

1-2 tsp. Pepper

1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

1/8 tsp. Allspice

1-3 Garlic Cloves

3/4 c. Cold Water

4 tbsp. Tomato Paste

2 tbsp. Olive Oil

2 tbsp soy or vegan Worcestershire

Mix dry, mix wet, then mix together (her recipe really says that, she is a girl after my heart. Simple and too the point).

Knead for several minutes.

Form log, wrap in foil, and twist ends.

Bake for 90 minutes.

Let cool all the way.

Enjoy.

The lovely Lindsay preparing her pre-cooked seitan for the cheesesteaks!

Add bell pepper.

Add mushrooms.

Add liquid aminos and cover.

Cut hoagies and toast. The Annie's in the background was used as a spread and it was delicious.

Add all the goodness to the hoagie, add spread, add daiya cheese.

And enjoy this amazing Seitan Cheesesteak. I can't wait to make this one again.
