Cameroon Style Seitan and Spinach


1 lb. fresh spinach, stemmed
2 T canola oil
8 oz. seitan, cut into one inch cubes
1 - yellow onion, sliced
1/2 C tomato sauce
1 1/4 C vegetable stock
2 T peanut butter
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1/4 t cayenne

Steam the spinach over boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool. Chop the spinach and set aside.

Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the seitan and brown on all sides. Remove the browned seitan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add the remaining one tablespoon oil to the saucepan. When hot, add the onion and cook until lightly brown, about 7 minutes, then reduce the heat and add the tomato sauce, vegetable stock, peanut butter, soy sauce, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Uncover, add the reserved seitan and cook 5 minutes longer, or until hot. Stir in the reserved spinach and taste to adjust seasonings before serving.

  1. Not that good, actually. I made it with broccoli rabe, and while the broccoli rabe is good and the sauce is good and there's nothing wrong with the seitan, there's nothing really right with it either.
