I want creamy gnocchi with spinach.

Yum! I just looked up recipes for sweet potato falafel and am going to make this tomorrow
Sweet Potato Falafel with Tomato Couscous - Tesco Real Food

 

[KLS52]

Yum...sweet potato falafel sounds really good! I should try making my own falafel so that I can control the spices that go into it.

I'm curious to know how you make it. You often mention it on this thread. What is a sub roll ?

It's a long roll, about 10 inches or so and maybe three or four inches around, though I cut some of it off so that it measures about 7 inches long. I slice up the seitan into thin pieces and then saute it in a little canola oil for four or five minutes. Then I drop some homemade buffalo sauce into the pan (maybe a tablespoon or so) to sear in the flavor. It flares up nicely. Then I assemble the sandwich with the sauteed onions and peppers, then the seitan, and then I top it all with Daiya shreds and a little more buffalo sauce.

That sounds nice. We don't get Buffalo sauce but I'm sure that it's something that one can make at home. I'll look it up.

This reminds me that I must make some more seitan today.

It's pretty easy to make. My recipe calls for equal parts vegan butter and Frank's hot sauce or whatever hot sauce you prefer (6 tablespoons each), 1/8 tsp. vegan Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder and 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar. Optional ingredients are cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste, depending on how spicy/hot you prefer the sauce. I usually leave these out. You melt the butter and remove it from the heat and then whisk in the rest of the ingredients. Let it cool to room temperature and you're good to go.

That sounds like a lot of hot sauce. I usually make a basic sauce with ingredients that give the seitan a nice flavour. I also like a few drops of chipotle hot sauce before serving. Do you use green or red peppers ?

Green peppers.
