After a gloriously sunny autumn, Melbourne lastly turned on about mutual frigidness atmospheric condition on the weekend together with gave us a proficient excuse to ready upwards about wintery comfort food. We dug out Street Vegan and tweaked 1 of their sandwich recipes into something nosotros could serve with veggie box salad. There are a heap of interesting takes on tempeh together with seitan inwards the book, but it was this bourban-glazed seitan that caught my eye.
It's a fairly involved recipe - you've got to brand seitan outset (we used our new favourite recipe), marinate it together with and hence slow-cook the onions together with kid upwards the seitan. I was a fighting over it past times the end, but it was merely close worth the endeavour - the glazed seitan inwards item is outstanding, with a sweetness together with smoky richness that's pretty difficult to top. The onions were good, but perhaps non proficient plenty to justify the endeavour involved - a long, depression fry-up with a splash of liquid fume would in all probability function almost equally well.
The master copy recipe has a complicated aioli equally well, but nosotros merely stirred about lime juice together with chipotle pepper into about mayo together with dressed our salad inwards it.
