Seitan with Tomato Orange Sauce


2 T olive oil
1/4 C minced scallion
2 t minced garlic
1/2 t ground cumin
1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes
1 - can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 C orange juice concentrate
1 t tomato paste
1 t salt
1/8 t freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. seitan, cut into 1/4 inch slices

Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallions, garlic, cumin, and hot red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes, orange juice concentrate, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste to adjust the seasonings, and keep warm. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seitan and cook until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer the seitan to a serving platter and spoon the reserved sauce over the seitan.

  1. Very sweet--due to the OJ concentrate, no doubt--but really tasty. Very simple to make, once you've gotten past making the seitan.
