Ingredients

• 500 grams seitan
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 12 pieces bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Pre-soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the seitan into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the marinade, along with chopped fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the seitan cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Thread the marinated seitan cubes onto the pre-soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the seitan is nicely charred and heated through.

Step 9

Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the vegetarian lamb speducci hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
