Homemade Seitan.. Made EASY.
Being plant based doesn’t mean you miss out on all your favorites. ONE of my favorites, especially during the summer, is the BBQ sandwich. Dress it up any way you prefer it. This is a great alternative to the animal based forms of BBQ.
This recipe allows you to make an easy, delicious, dense, and plant based meaty staple for your summer BBQs. All without the greasy, stomach bloat, and acid reflux feelings that you can have in the animal based forms. This will give you all the good without all the guilt whether its the saturated fat and calories or just simply the cruelty that comes with consuming meat.
