Seitan Marinades
low carb vegan recipes
For baking, grilling, panini-ing, stir frying, and whatever else you can think of doing with ‘wheat meat,’ marinating seitan slices will add a lot of flavor. Adding seitan to a salad, vegetable or rice will make it into a complete meal. Marinate for 1–24 hours, depending on how much time you have for marinating.
