Homemade Seitan
I got the recipe here.
So far, I've put it in stew with turnips, carrots and celery. I made Chinese "beef and broccoli" in a black pepper sauce. And for breakfast today, "steak and eggs." It's pretty tasty I think. Kurt likes it. I'd like to tweak it a bit next time to include more grains and herbs.
