Ingredients

• 300 g seitan
• 250 g cremini or button mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 250 ml vegetable broth
• 200 ml unsweetened plant-based cream (e.g., oat, soy, or cashew cream)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the seitan into thin strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the seitan and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Lower the heat and stir in the plant-based cream. Return the cooked seitan to the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes for a satisfying meal.
