I LOVE this recipe! It is so full of flavor, easy to make and absolutely delicious. My husband has already claimed the leftovers for his breakfast tomorrow!
(Update: I made this with a sliced Field Roast and it was wonderful!)
INGREDIENTS:
6 large pieces plain seitan (about a pound–I used Westsoy in the blue box and just broke it up into small pieces)
Whole wheat flour for dredging (about 3/4 C)
1/4 C olive oil
1/2 C diced shallots
1/2 C diced onion
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 C drained capers
1 C dry white wine
1/4 C lemon juice
1 C vegetable broth
2 Tbs all-purpose flour
4 Tbs soy margarine (Earth Balance)
1 C chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Dredge the seitan in the whole wheat flour, shaking off the excess. Heat 2 Tbs olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add the seitan and saute until crisp and tender, about 30 seconds per side.
Transfer seitan to a plate. Heat the remaining 2 Tbs oil in the same skillet. Add the scallions, onions, garlic, and capers and saute, stirring frequently, until softened, 1-2 mins. Add the wine, and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by half. Whisk in the lemon juice, and cook until sauce has reduced a bit more, 1-2 mins. Whisk in broth and the all-purpose flour and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 min to thicken. Whisk in the margarine, parsley, salt and pepper.
Pour over seitan and serve immediately. (I added the seitan to the pan and coated it with the sauce). This sauce was so rich and lemony…enjoy!

Hi April!
Devin just called me and told me that you’ve recently become vegan, too! That’s great, we’ll have to share recipes; and, I told Dev that he and Curtis will need to form a support group :). Have you bought The Conscious Cook yet (sorry, that should be underlined and I can’t stand doing things like that-my neurosis and why I can’t stand texting- but I don’t know how to underline in here). Anyway, it’s an awesome cookbook and I also really love The Urban Vegan. I am so impressed that you have a website! Very impressive :). Talk with you soon!
Kristin
Hey Kristin,
I was excited to hear you, too converted! Yea! I don’t feel so alone here! I haven’t gotten a hold of the Conscious Cook yet–thanks for the suggestion. I have the Urban Vegan, too, but I’ve only made one recipe from it and it didn’t turn out for me. I’m sure others will. I like Vegan Yum Yum–that’s a good one. We need to get together and swap recipes!
