The sauce is random stuff I felt like eating, from anchos and white onions to carrots and peas, with different herbs and spices. It came out pretty great honestly
Hmm, I don’t have an exact recipe, I usually free hand my meals. But I can roughly describe the process.
For seitan: I had made some veggie broth the other day and saved the cooked vegetables and mushrooms from it, which I blended into a mush, then added some random spices and herbs (basil, chili, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin), and a shitload of vital wheat gluten, then kneaded it until fairly solid. I then cooked the seitan in the broth for like half an hour. I saved the broth afterwards, I find it gets even richer after having seitan cooked in it. I cubed the seitan mass and put it aside. I only used half of the seitan I made because there was so much of it.
The goulash sauce was even more random, I just picked stuff I found around the kitchen that I found fitting. I took about two spoons of tahini, an ancho, a few garlic cloves, some tomato paste, miso paste, and again random spices and a little agave syrup. I blended it all with a little water, then started heating it in a pot. I chopped a white onion finely and threw it into the sauce, and let it simmer for a while, then added the seitan cubes and some frozen peas and carrots (from a cheap frozen mix I bought ages ago). I topped off with water, added a little soy sauce and vinegar to taste, let it simmer until it had a nice consistency.
That’s pretty much it. Served with plain potatoes.
