Seitan CreoleIngredients (use vegan versions): 16 ounces of seitan (I prefer White Wave Chicken Flavor) cut in bite size pieces
1 tablespoon oil (olive is good)
1 onion diced
1 green pepper cut in bite size pieces
1/3 cup of soy sauce
1 28 ounce can of tomatoes, I prefer diced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Tabasco, to taste optional
1 cup brown rice
1 box chopped, frozen okra thawed
Directions:In a separate covered sauce pan cook rice.
Saute onion, garlic and green pepper in oil until onion is translucent. Stir in soy sauce, tomatoes, and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Add in green pepper and seitan in bite size pieces (include any juice you may have, it adds flavor to the dish). Cover and simmer for 50 minutes. Stir in Okra. Simmer 10 more minutes. Serve over hot rice with Tabasco for those willing to handle true Cajun spiciness.
Serves: 4 to 6
Preparation time: 1.5 hour, 1 hour of cooking
This dish was delicious! It was very flavorful even though the only spice used is cayenne pepper. I used homemade seitan and red pepper instead of green. I couldnt find any okra(frozen or fresh) so I used frozen green beans. They made a great substitute. This recipes only fault is a bit too much soy sauce. Next time I will try 1/6 or 1/4 cup. Make sure you use a high quality brand of soy sauce or tamari(such as San-J). Dont forget a clove or two(or three!) of garlic, which was included in the directions but not the recipe list. If you just can't wait 50 min. for simmering you can get by with 30 min. plus 10 min. with the okra.
