Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Seitan (wheat gluten)
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 30 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary, dried
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 Bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 8 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to form a marinade.
Cut the seitan into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the seitan is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into chunks similar in size to the seitan pieces.
Skewer the seitan, red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally until the veggies are tender and the seitan is nicely charred.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes or salads.
