Lemon Seitan

This is a great, easy recipe that goes well with a grain like quinoa (to complete your protein) and some leafy greens like kale or spinach. (Learn more about seitan.)

1 lb carton of Seitan
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Dash Curry
1 lemon

Drain seitan and slice into medium-sized strips.

In a large pan, heat the olive oil, curry, and cayenne over medium heat. Add seitan, stirring regularly. When most of the oil and spices have been absorbed, squeeze the juice of the entire lemon into the pan (careful to keep out the seeds!).

Continue cooking until the lemon juice is absorbed, and some of the pieces of seitan are brown on the edges. (My bf and I feel differently about the crispy bits, so the different-sized pieces will cook a little differently. Then I take the crisp ones and he takes the soft ones!)

Serve with greens and grains. Makes two servings.
