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:
- Say the onion, thinly slice the port and finely chop the garlic.
- In a saucepan, 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.
- Trick: If you feel like it you can leave a little brother in the bottom or let it reduce completely.
- Serve the peas with fresh seitan.
