BBQ FLAVORED SEITAN
I wanted to make more a BBQ type seitan after the success of my spicy seitan, so I made a few modifications to my original recipe and came up with this. I also made BBQ sauce for the first time and it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't really keep track of measurements, so I won't be posting that recipe right away. Also, if you're making this on a large scale (the first time I made this I actually octupled the recipe) you're probably going to need to add more of the liquid ingredients (maybe 1 to 2 cups more of the mixture). You want the seitan to feel similar to a wet sponge. Just like with my other seitan, how long you cook it will effect how hard or soft it is. Personally, I like this kind to be sort of like lunch meat, so I've included the times for making it a nice, soild, meat substitute. If you think you've over cooked it (it gets really browned), don't worry. Let it cool and bake it or fry it up later. The "skin" will soften when it's reheated.

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
- Add wet mixture to dry ingredients (I find pouring it along the edges of the dry mixture helpful).
- Mix and knead the dough thoroughly.
- Shape into an 8 inch (or so) loaf.
- Place the loaf in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Tightly wrap loaf in foil like a sausage, twisting the ends.
- Steam the wrapped loaf for 45 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Place loaf in pan or on baking sheet and bake for another 45 minutes.
- Take out, unwrap, let cool, and enjoy!
HERB-ENCRUSTED SEITAN
This seitan is very lightly breaded and fried, so it tastes crispy and delicious without having too much fat. The herbs are key, and really add to the flavor. I used store-bought seitan and broke it into chunks, but you could make your own and cut it however you like. I think it would be excellent with cutlets.

Steps:
- Stir together flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan large enough to hold all the seitan without overlapping pieces.
- Cut seitan into desired size pieces. Toss with flour mixture until well coated.
- Transfer seitan to frying pan and cook on medium heat until browned and crisp. Turn pieces every few minutes so that all sides are cooked evenly.

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED SEITAN
Steps:
- Combine the cornmeal and 3/4 cup boiling water in a large heatproof mixing bowl. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir. Add the flour, optional yeast, seasoning, and salt, and whisk together.
- Add the seitan to the bowl and stir to coat the seitan pieces evenly.
- Heat the oil in a wide nonstick skillet. Arrange the seitan in the skillet in a single layer, if possible, or work in batches. Sauté over medium-high heat on all sides until the cornmeal turns golden brown and crusty. Serve at once.
- Menu Suggestions
- Like the previous recipe, this works nicely in a Parisian-style assiette. See the suggestions in the box on page 67; as well as the menu suggestions with Seitan and Mushrooms in Paprika Cream (page 68).
- This goes well with whole-grain dishes; here are a few ideas. With any of these, add some colorful raw vegetables or a simple salad: Quinoa with Wild Mushrooms and Mixed Squashes (page 90); Quinoa with Cauliflower, Cranberries, and Pine Nuts (page 92); Curried Cashew Couscous (page 93); or Lemony Couscous with Broccoli (page 94).
- Cornmeal-Crusted Seitan is a good partner for Sweet and White Potato Salad with Mixed Greens (page 188) or Warm Mediterranean Potato Salad (page 193). With the latter, add some grape tomatoes to the plate.

HERB CRUST
Steps:
- Blend first 5 ingredients in processor until herbs are very finely chopped. Add butter and shortening. Blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Using fork, mix enough ice water into flour mixture to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; flatten into rectangle. Cover and chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Let dough soften slightly before rolling out.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality seitan. Look for seitan that is made with whole wheat flour and has a firm, chewy texture. You can also make your own seitan at home using a bread machine or a food processor.
- Marinate the seitan for at least 30 minutes. This will help the seitan to absorb the flavors of the herbs and spices. You can marinate the seitan in a variety of liquids, such as soy sauce, vegetable broth, or white wine.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will give the seitan a complex and flavorful crust. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Press the herb crust firmly into the seitan. This will help the crust to adhere to the seitan and prevent it from falling off during cooking.
- Bake the seitan at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust. You can also grill or pan-fry the seitan, but be sure to cook it over medium heat so that the seitan does not dry out.
- Serve the seitan with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
Herb-encrusted seitan is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is a great source of protein and fiber, and it is also low in fat and calories. With its crispy crust and flavorful interior, herb-encrusted seitan is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
