Peas with seitan recipe

Peas with ham is a well – known dish and is one of the most popular ways to cook these vegetables. This recipe for peas with seitan that I share is a vegan version of the dish in which I have replaced the ham with seitan, a vegetable substitute for meat rich in proteins based on wheat gluten. It is a simple and quick recipe to prepare, an ideal option for an express lunch or dinner full of nutrients.

Ingredients to make Peas with seitan:

• 500 grams of frozen peas
• 1 onion
• ½ leek
• 150 grams of seitan
• 1 splash of olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 1 pinch of black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth

How to make Peas with seitan:

Dice the onion, finely slice the port and finely chop the garlic. Dice the seitan. If you want to do it yourself, follow this recipe for vegetable wheat meat. In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion, garlic and leek for about 2 minutes. Add the seitan and continue cooking for another minute. Add the peas to the pot and cover them with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and cook until the peas are tender and the broth is reduced, about 10-12 minutes.

Tip: If you feel like it, you can leave a little broth in the bottom or let it reduce completely.

Serve the snap peas with seitan.
