Buffalo Seitan and Kale -- back to top

I made seitan using the recipe in my dads book. It is basically 1 cup of vital wheat gluten and 3/4 cup of water. I used mostly water but added about a Tbsp or two of Franks Red Hot. I used the food processor with the dough blade. It came together a bit strangely and as a lot of pieces. Nothing like last time. But then again, last time it was a huge rubbery ball and this time it was more elastic. Anyway, I made a simmering liquid with mostly water, some white wine, and more Franks. After letting it simmer for 1:15, I cut it and topped it with a home-made buffalo sauce (that is, Franks red-hot and some melted Olivio). It definitely tasted like what you would expect for buffalo seitan however it was a bit salty. Still, quite tasty and I would say successful.

We also made sautéd dino kale.

Note that the seitan is about 6.5 Points Plus per person and it made a lot.

Roasted Cabbage with Parmesan and fake meat thing -- back to top

The main star of this meal was the cabbage. I followed the recipe below and I didn't need to make many changes except I used shredded cabbage. I think the only thing I did was let it cook a bit longer to brown. The cheese was very important as it enhanced the cabbage flavor. Otherwise, I think it may have just been bland. I used real ground parmesan as opposed to the fake stuff. I thought it came out really well. Some of the cabbage was more browned but there was a nice mix of flavor and char. And, as I said, the cheese really came through and brought out the flavor of the rest.

Shredding it was also really easy. I peeled the outer layers and then quartered it. I cut diagonally to remove the core. Then I used the mandolin to slice it along one of the flat edges. Super easy and quick.

I also threw together a protein part. It is basically sautéd onions with some Trader Joes fake beef strips. I added some red wine dijon sauce (used here and here). I do not love the beef strips, but I had them and wanted to use them up.
