Best 4 Braised Seitan Cutlets In Mushroom And Red Wine Sauce Recipes

SIMPLE BRAISED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the shallot and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until fragrant and beginning to soften. Add the mushrooms to the pan along with another 1/2 teaspoon salt and the thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have let off some of their juices are beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Deglaze with the Marsala, if using, and add the broth and remaining salt. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about an additional 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, stir in the butter and serve.

MUSHROOM SAUCE WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add wine and beef broth and cook until sauce has reduced to about 3/4 of the original volume, about 20 minutes.
• Mix water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; add to the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

SEITAN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Boil the 6 c vegetable broth with the 3 T soy sauce. Turn off heat and keep covered.
• Combine the 1/2 c cold vegetable broth, the 1/4 c soy sauce, olive oil, garlic and lemon zest. Mix.
• Add to wheat gluten and mix until wet ingredients are absorbed. Use your hands to knead for about 3 minutes, until dough is elastic.
• Divide into 6 equal pieces; stretch each into an oblong cutlet shape that is less than 1/2" thick. Use your body weight to press and shape it on a hard surface; there will be some resistance but just keep at it.
• Pour the heated vegetable broth into a 9x13" glass baking dish or ceramic casserole. Place the cutlets in the broth, then bake for about 30 minutes uncovered, turn the cutlets over with tongs, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the cutlets in a colander to drain. The cutlets are now ready to use in whatever seitan recipe you choose.
• If you have extra seitan, store it in the cooking liquid in a tightly covered container.

TAGLIATELLE WITH MUSHROOMS IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12- to 14-inch) skillet or sauté pan. Add pancetta and cook on medium until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, strew with some salt and continue to cook until mushrooms have softened and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook another 5 minutes or so until the onion starts to brown.
• Add tomatoes, wine and anchovy paste. Stir well and continue to cook until the liquid in the pan reduces and thickens somewhat, another 5 minutes or so. Season with pepper and more salt if needed. Fold in parsley and remaining oil, and remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook pasta about 4 minutes, until al dente. Remove from heat. Use tongs to transfer pasta to the skillet, with some of the pasta water still clinging to it. Reserve another cup of the pasta water.
• Reheat mixture in the skillet, folding mushroom mixture with pasta for several minutes. Add additional pasta water as needed so the mixture is moist but not soupy. Transfer to a large, warm bowl and serve, with grated cheese alongside.
