Vegan Seitan Kebab

The vegan seitan kebab is a delicious alternative to the classic meat kebab, which will win over even the most skeptical. I had never tried or cooked seitan before, thanks to my boyfriend who gave it to me, and I created this recipe. I sliced the seitan into strips, marinated it, cooked it in a pan, and finally roasted it in the oven. Despite these various steps, making this recipe is easy but above all satisfying: you’ll enjoy a delicious kebab with a surprising flavor!

Steps

  • To make the vegan seitan kebab, slice the seitan into strips, using a peeler.

  • Place the seitan in a bowl, add the spices, garlic, soy sauce, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well and let marinate for 30 minutes.

  • In a pan, pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the seitan. Put on low heat and cook. Add a couple of tablespoons of water, mix, and cook until the water is completely absorbed. Before turning off, sauté for a few minutes, being careful not to let the seitan stick to the pan.

  • Line the oven tray with parchment paper and grease it. Spread the seitan strips and roast them in the preheated oven at 430°F for 10-15 minutes. Check occasionally and turn them, to prevent over-coloring.

  • Cut the breads, fill them with lettuce and sliced tomatoes, add the kebab, and season with yogurt sauce. Enjoy your meal!
