Recipe from the cookbook “So what do you eat?” by Linda Muller. This is a tried and tested vegetarian recipe prepared from seitan natural and other ingredients. The recipe is inspired by Argentinian cuisine.

Ingredients:

For 2 to 3 servings: 250g seitan natural For chimichuri: 1 handful of parsley 2-3 pieces garlic cloves 1 pc small shallot 3 tbsp olive oil+for frying 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp of soy sauce 1 tsp of agave syrup 1/2 tsp dried oregano several fresh cilantro leaves juice from half a lime cayenne pepper to taste pepper salt For fries 500 g of potatoes 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp salt

Procedure:

  • Place the parsley in a blender and drizzle with oil, vinegar and lime juice, then blend it together with the coriander, oregano, garlic and shallots until smooth, finally seasoning the resulting chimichurri with salt and pepper
  • .Set aside two tablespoons of the chimichurri (you’ll need it for serving) and add the soy sauce, syrup and cayenne pepper to the rest of the mixture
  • .Pour the resulting marinade into a plastic bag into which you drop the whole seitan, tie the bag with a rubber band, massage it nicely with your hands and store it in the fridge for at least 1 hour (of course, the longer the seitan rots, the better)
