Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams seitan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 12 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Pre-soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the seitan into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the marinade, along with chopped fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Pour the marinade over the seitan cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Thread the marinated seitan cubes onto the pre-soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Grill the skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the seitan is nicely charred and heated through.
Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the vegetarian lamb speducci hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
