Seitan Bacon
Seitan Bacon is a great plant-based addition to your weekend breakfast. This marinade makes for a quick, easy, and savory seitan. For a wheat-free option, try this marinade with tempeh cut into thin strips.
Seitan (say-tan) is a wheat gluten meat substitute that is cooked by either poaching or simmering it in water or broth. Seitan is a low-calorie, low-saturated-fat and low-carb food that is a good source of iron and surprisingly rich in protein.
If you’d like to try your hand at homemade seitan vs. store-bought (which can be tricky to find), here are a couple of blogs we recommend: My Quiet Kitchen , Daughters of Seitan
