- 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

Instructions
Slice the seitan into thin strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
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.
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.
Stir in the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown.
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Lower the heat and stir in the plant-based cream. Return the cooked seitan to the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
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.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes for a satisfying meal.
