Nikoleta Kováč Recipe by Nikoleta, vegan cook and author of every recipe in the Tofu app · @surovadcerka

Once you start making homemade seitan, you won’t be able to stop. It can be seasoned and prepared in countless ways. Its base is wheat gluten, which you can find in health food stores. Here is a recipe you can use as a starting point when making dishes such as svíčková or “duck.” I have also included a seasoning blend recipe that I often use with it. Seitan tastes best when prepared a day in advance and left to rest in the fridge for at least one day.

poultry spice blend

Contains: gluten, soy

How to make it

  1. To prepare the poultry seasoning blend, combine dried garlic, ground coriander, sweet paprika, ground rosemary, marjoram, dried lemon zest, dried onion, turmeric, and black pepper in a mortar or spice grinder. Grind into an even mixture. Use it later to marinate the finished seitan, or add some of it to the dry ingredients before kneading the seitan.
