Although I am a meat eater, I do enjoy well prepared vegetarian/vegan food. The Whole Foods Market near me makes a Tex/Mex kinda flavored Seitan salad, and this is my attempt to make it. Even my meat loving husband likes this. Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) package white wave traditionally seasoned seitan (in the blue box) |
1 red bell pepper |
1 green bell pepper |
1 large tomato |
2 roasted shallots, peeled and cut in half |
1 small onion, peeled and cut in half |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon siriacha chili-garlic sauce |
2 teaspoons honey (or whatever sweetener you like) |
1/2 lime, juice of |
1 tablespoon olive oil (or more to taste) |
Directions:
1. Peel the shallots and cut in half.
2. Cut the peppers in half, remove seeds, and place on a baking sheet cut side down with the shallots and the onion that have been peeled and cut in half. Brush with a bit of oil, and place under the broiler until the skins of the peppers turn black. (you can also just place on a grill, turning until the skins are blackened.
3. Place all the vegetables in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 15 minutes and then peel the skins off the peppers, and Tomato.
4. Chop all the vegetables up and put in a bowl.
