 Kale Seitan! Okay, we’ve all heard variations of “Hail Seitan” since we went vegan, right? It was one of our first designs back when we had a t-shirt company in the 1990s. Oh, man, we were so cute! The other day, the words “kale seitan” popped out of my mouth (these things happen!) and with October upon us, it occured to me we needed a recipe to get into the spirit of the Halloween season. Because seitan, a.k.a., wheat gluten, beats my stomach up from the inside (that is the technical medical term for it), I have provided this quick, easy and savory recipe with the assurances from my boys that it tastes delicious, but made a tofu version for myself. (I used the same amount of super firm tofu and cooked it in the same way as the seitan.) Of course you could always sub with tempeh, chickpeas or whatever you like. If you really want to summon the Prince of Darkness to your vegan table and your tummy won’t revolt because of it, though, give the seitan version a try. I used Upton’s Naturals Italian-style seitan and was assured it was a delight but the traditional would work just as well. I love this Chicago-based company. And don’t forget to say, “KALE SEITAN” in your most guttural voice when invoking the Dark Prince. It never gets old. Trust me...
