Some alternatives
As an alternative to seitan, slices of wheat muscle can be used. For those who are intolerant to gluten, we recommend replacing vegetable (gluten-based) meat with compact tofu.- Cut the seitan into 1 cm thick slices.
- Prepare the macera by mixing the juice of one lemon with soy sauce, veg white wine, mustard, pepper and sage. Dip the slices of seitan in the maceration and leave to rest for at least two hours.
Did you know that
The longer the seitan slices are left in the macera, the tastier the result!- Drain the slices from the maceration and pass them in the wholemeal flour.
- Pour two tablespoons of oil into a pan and, when hot, brown the slices of seitan on both sides, until browned. When the slices are golden, add the macera, cover with the lid and leave to flavor for about ten minutes.
- Turn off the heat and serve the seitan escalopes with a side of potatoes or mixed salad.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
The seitan escalopes are an alternative and modern second course, but at the same time very easy to prepare! You can accompany them with a simple mashed potatoes or a tastier side dish based on potatoes in a pan! Also try the vegan escalopes with mushrooms!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
