Serves: 4

Marinade:

• 8 ounces Seitan, cubed
• 1 lime, juiced
• 3 to 4 cloves garlic, pressed
• 10 leaves Fresh oregano, torn into small pieces (or dried oregano, 1 ⁄ 8 teaspoon)

Jerk Spices:

• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon each chili powder and garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon each salt, oregano, allspice and nutmeg

Vegetables:

• 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 bunch kale, stems diced and leaves torn into pieces, divided
• 1 medium onion, diced

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and allow to set 2–3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Mix spices for jerk in a small bowl and set aside.

Add olive oil to large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Drain marinade and sauté seitan in a single layer for 4–5 minutes, or until light brown on all sides. Add diced kale stems and cook about 1 minute. Add onion and sauté until caramelized. Add bell pepper and kale leaves and cook an additional 1–2 minutes. Mix in jerk seasonings, blending well.
