Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Seitan
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 250 ml Vegetable broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Add the olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the herb mixture. Mix well to form a paste.
Rub the herb and garlic paste evenly over the seitan, ensuring it is well coated.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add a touch of olive oil.
Sear the seitan in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is lightly browned.
Once seitan is seared, pour vegetable broth into the skillet around the seitan to help keep it moist during roasting.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Baste once or twice with the broth to enhance flavor and moisture.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
