A very flavorful, simple to throw together meal. Makes the house smell amazing! This is based on a beef recipe we used to make all the time before going vegan. It is absolutely just as tasty with seitan. Ingredients:
1 lb seitan, chunked |
6 carrots, chopped |
1 large onion, chopped |
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste) |
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained, juice reserved |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
3 tablespoons cold water |
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped |
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped |
Directions:
1. Place seitan, carrots and onion in crockpot.
2. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic clove, red pepper flakes and pineapple juice until sugar is dissolved. Pour into crockpot.
3. Cook on low 8 hours.
4. 30 minutes before serving, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add to crockpot, along with bell peppers and pineapple chunks.
5. Turn crockpot up to high, and cook for 30 minutes, until peppers are crisp-tender.
6. Serve over rice.
