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!
