Description

Make seitan yourself? Sounds complicated, but it's not at all! With the Thermomix® it's easier than you think. This recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a delicious and protein-rich alternative to meat. The seitan is cooked in a spicy broth that gives it a great taste. I like to use it in vegetable stir-fries or as a base for a vegetarian chili. It is important to give the seitan enough time to soak after cooking so that it can properly absorb the taste of the broth. An absolute must for vegan cuisine!
