    6 Delicious Seitan Recipes

    Published: Mar 9, 2015 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Dense and chewy seitan — cooked wheat gluten — is almost pure protein. Clearly, though, seitan is not for anyone with gluten sensitivity. Store-bought seitan usually comes in 8-ounce packages or 16-ounce tubs, or you can make Homemade Seitan with the recipe on this site. It's a hearty plant-based protein with an almost meaty texture. Here are 6 of our favorite ways to use this versatile food. Seitan Gyros is a kinder, gentler version of the Greek meat-on-a-pita classic. Seitan makes a superb stand-in, and the shortcut creamy cucumber dressing gives the entire enterprise a refreshing zip.

    Roasted Seitan with Peppers and Mushrooms

    Roasted Seitan, Peppers, and Portabellas is so easy to throw together, yet it makes a festive main dish for special occasions or a hearty meal for any day of the week.

    BBQ-flavored seitan and avocado wraps

    In BBQ-Flavored Seitan and Avocado Wraps, flavorful seitan contrasts deliciously with cool avocado and leafy greens. Like most wraps, it’s a salad disguised as a sandwich.

    In Garlicky Greens with Seitan and Vegan Sausage, the bold taste of these two plant-based proteins provides a perfect foil for fresh greens.

      I just love the looks of these dishes as I am thinking of switching from meat. I suffer from an auto immune illness and started juicing and eating lots more vegetables and is feeling a whole lot better. So I came across these menu and is fascinating by them.
