Peas with seitan recipe

Peas with ham are a well- known dish and are 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 substituted seitan for the ham, a protein-rich vegetable meat substitute made from 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 garlic cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch of black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth

How to make Peas with Seitan:

1. Say the onion, thinly slice the port and finely chop the garlic.
2. In a saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the onion, garlic and leek for about 2 minutes.
3. Add the seitan and continue cooking for another minute.
4. Add the peas to the pot and cover them with the vegetable broth.
5. Bring to a boil and cook until the peas are tender and the broth is reduced, about 10-12 minutes.
6. Trick: If you feel like it you can leave a little brother in the bottom or let it reduce completely.
7. Serve the peas with fresh seitan.
