I'm on a nice hearty sandwich recipe kick right now. My Sweet Potato Veggie Burger was a huge success. It actually booted my Watermelon Frosty for the top spot of most popular recipe of all time on my blog. Very exciting to hear all about how you guys made, enjoyed and changed up that recipe. I have made those burgers a few times since posting too - so addictive and easy!So I've been working hard to find a new way to satisfy my sandwich cravingSo I present to you my stacked..It has been a while since I've made. But I am so glad I recently bought a box ofand dove into this fun kitchen project fist first .. because making seitan in kind of like making bread. Only the "dough" you knead is much less delicate and really has some muscle and body to it. Those glutens fight back!I like to steam then bake my seitan so the thick, high gluten dough puffs up into airy, fluffy, spongy seitan. Fit to slice, slather in sauce, saute or skewer. And making seitan is actually pretty easy..seitan log, freshly unwrapped from foil packet..sliced seitan after saute..And once you've mastered the recipe shown in the link above, you can easily whip up my sandwich. Recipe below.4 slices pepper mushroom seitan , about 1/2 inch thick1 tsp liquid smoke (splash in drops over seitan)1-3 tsp maple syrup, grade B is my favefine black pepper to tastesalt to taste if needed - or add a splash of tamarifor saute: 1-4 tsp safflower or olive oilSaute Seitan in olive oil. Add the maple and liquid smoke during saute. Add fine pepper to taste. Saute for about 2 minutes on each side until seitan is heated through and crispy browned edges form. Cool for a few minutes before piling onto sandwich.seitan (above)2 slices multi grain bread, toasted2 tsp Dijon mustard2 tsp Vegenaise + 1 tsp chipotle hot sauce3 leaves romaine2 thin red onion slices3 thin slices avocado2-3 pickles (optional - I used bread and butter pickles)fine pepper to tasteToast bread.
