Ingredients:

  • 1 pound seitan, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 3 potatoes, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 4 tbsp water until smooth

Preparation:

Place all the ingredients in a crock pot or slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Sautee the seitan in a little bit of olive oil first, if you'd like. If you're pressed for time, you don't need to, but it will give the seitan a bit of extra flavor if you do.

Tasty business, Guest

I had no celery so substituted green pepper. Also dusted the seitan with flour and fried it briefly before chucking it in the cooker, as well as pre-frying the onion. Used only 4 cups of stock and therefore a little less than 2 tbsp of soy sauce. It was the first time I had ever cooked or even eaten seitan and it turned out great! Wife and I really liked this - both had seconds. Definitely be making this again.
