savory seitan spaghetti - mmm

I have always striven to find what the best diet for me would be based on minimally processed, least impact to the environment, natural foods, sustainability, and health, but I really have to give my amazing girlfriend the credit for really opening my eyes to what I feel is the optimal diet - the vegan diet. Love you Ry! xoxo

One new food Ry has introduced me to is called Seitan. It is essentially the super protein rich gluten that is left over after rising away the starch from wheat, a process that can easily be done by hand. Perhaps I will make some someday soon I hope because it tastes soo good!

Here is a link to making seitan at about.com http://vegetarian.about.com/od/cookingtipstools/ss/HowToSeitan.htm

Savory Seitan Spaghetti
I made this one at Ry's place several weeks ago, and cannot for the life of me remember how i cooked the seitan.. since my memory is horrible about these things sometimes and my cooking style is very 'by the seat of my pants' letting the available ingredients speak to me, we will just have to wait for me to recreate this dish for the recipe. What I do know, is that it was AMAZING!
