Sweet Spiced Seitan Skewers

Louise Mead

One of the things I thought I’d miss on becoming vegan was BBQs – because mistakenly I believed that without meat, there’d be little I could eat other than vegetable skewers. I never needed to worry though, there are so many vegan BBQ recipes, including this one – sweet spiced seitan skewers. Now try saying that after a glass or two of Pimm’s!

There's more where this came from!

Ingredients

Approx 250g of seitan (I used GranoVita mock duck which comes in a 285g tin)
1-2 chillies
Handful of coriander leaves
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of rice vinegar or similar
1 teaspoon of sesame seeds
Skewers

Method

If using bamboo skewers, pop them in water to soak to help prevent them burning
Chop the seitan into 1/2 inch thick pieces – don’t worry too much about uniformity
Chop the chillies and coriander leaves
Place the seitan, chillies, coriander, and ginger into a bowl
Add the liquid ingredients and sesame seeds
Mix well then leave to soak for 15-20 minutes
Place onto skewers in desired portions
Spoon any left over mixture over the skewers
Grill & eat!
