Ingredients:
- 8 ounces prepared seitan, sliced thin, or chopped into 1-inch chunks
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (see note)
- 4-5 bamboo skewers (optional)
- water for soaking
Preparation:
Place seitan in a zip-lock sealable bag or in a shallow pan and coat well with barbecue sauce. Allow to marinate for at least one hour; longer is better.
Pre-heat grill to medium high. Place seitan chunks on pre-soaked bamboo skewers and baste well with extra sauce. (Depending on your grill, seitan can also be placed directly on well-greased grates.) Grill for 8-10 minutes or until lightly charred, basting occasionally with extra barbecue sauce.
Eat your barbecued seitan right off the stick, or, slice leftovers thinly and make sandwiches. Enjoy!
Note: For this recipe, the flavor comes mostly from the barbecue sauce, so it's highly recommended that you use a good quality sauce. Choose a barbecue sauce without cheap added fillers (such as high-fructose corn syrup), or experiment with various gourmet and ethnic barbecue sauces.
