's funny that just when k-kitchen decided to go back to the pitcher then be willing to prepare vegan stuff, now blurred memories of a life that seems so far away but in the end it is not. Yes because I was also vegan youth but, more importantly, I had a (former) boyfriend vegetarian and dairy-intolerant, so the food was vegan daily diet, as well as the preparation of homemade seitan and tofu. So when the other day I visto la cavoletta , quasi stupita di se stessa, preparare il seitan in casa , mi sono detta che era ora di rispolverare le mie spinte salutiste (sob!) e mettermi al lavoro. Complice un sabato uggioso e casalingo e la necessità impellente di mettere le mani in pasta (e così ho fatto anche mezzo kg di pasta fresca), mi sono ritrovata con 400g di seitan morbido e spugnosetto (al contrario di quello che potete trovare nei negozi bio).
Certo non ha un bell'aspetto, ecco, e il sapore diciamo che è neutro (per non dire insapore!) però ha dalla sua parte che è vegetale al 100%, e quindi sano, e il fatto di sapere di nulla o quasi consente to flavor depending on how you cook it. It should be used just like meat but, before cooking, marinate the ideal is very good with spices, herbs and shoyu. Or you can use it as a stew or sauce, chopped with a knife and simply by doing a regular gravy. That 's what I have done to prepare a pan with the onion-celery-carrot, blending the chopped seitan with red wine and cook for about 1 hour and a half (yes I know it would take three hours, but I have been satisfied).
Excellent course on pasta, but also for spreading on bread. Try (if you dare!) Because it is really good and healthy, and vegan food every now and certainly will not hurt even the most carnivorous :-) avid
ps: for prepazione refer you to the home of seitan sprout recipe, although I've never done the blob rest for a night (but only for an hour) and use at least half whole wheat flour . In addition, to cook the seitan I highly recommend a piece of kombu, a bit 'of shoyu and a piece of fresh ginger. It keeps in the refrigerator immersed in its own liquid for a few days.
