Seitan A L’Orange

Oh, this turned out so good!  I roasted some potatoes, garlic, and fresh rosemary from the Farmers market. I seriously made a feast this evening!

To make the Seitan, I used the recipe from Veganomicon, but made a few modifications:  I reduced the soy sauce to 1 tablespoon, and replaced the remaining liquid amount with additional vegetable stock.  I also added 1 teaspoon of Herbes de Provence.

Sauce A L’Orange:

In a saucepan:

Sautee one minced shallot in 1 tablespoon of vegan margarine.  Once the shallots have browned, add 1 cup of dry white wine to deglaze the pan.   Add 1 cup of vegetable stock, the juice of two oranges, and one tablespoon of agave nectar.  Add the zest of one orange and ½ teaspoon of dried thyme.  Allow the mixture to come to a boil.  Once it comes to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken and salt and pepper.  Reduce to a low flame and add the Seitan.

I served this dish up with roasted potatoes and salad from the Hastings Farmers Market today.
