Cheesesteaks are a popular, though not very healthy favorite of many. Create this vegetarian/vegan version that is sure to become a favorite.
This recipe is a quick and easy way to recreate a Philly CheeseSteak in a vegetarian form. The recipe provided gives the guidelines, but is widely open to interpretation, just like the original product. Once the basics are mastered, it is easy to add a personal flair.
The CheeseSteak can be prepared as vegan or vegetarian, depending on the items used, but the basics are vegan.
Servings: 2 very generous sandwiches or 3 smaller sandwiches
Core ingredients:
* 8 ounces of seitan without garlic (see end of article for details about seitan)
* 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida, fenugreek
* slice green peppers or other veggies (optional)
* olive oil or cooking spray sufficient to sautee
* rennetless cheese (vegan or dairy)
* roll (a crusty French/Italian bread or sub/hoagie roll)
Preparation:
* Slice the seitan into strips, or chop finer, depending on your preference.
* Season the seitan if it is an unseasoned variety (suggested seasonings include soy sauce, green Tabasco sauce, pepper.)
Cooking:
* Heat a medium-sized skillet under medium to medium-high heat
* Sautee diced peppers until translucent
* Add seitan
* Cook until seitan and peppers are browned. Since seitan is not meat-based, there is no need to worry about undercooking
* Just before removing from heat, lay several slices of rennetless cheese (vegan or dairy) across the filling and cover. Remove from heat while cheese melts.
Presentation:
* Scoop a generous amount of the filling into a roll.
* Traditional condiments include a hearty serving of ketchup and even egg-less mayonnaise.
Making a larger quantity of sandwiches:
This recipe is suited for making smaller quantities of sandwiches for a family dinner, or having friends over. However, it is easy to scale the recipe up and prepare larger quantities by following a few tips.
The entire filling can be cooked in the oven. Fill a baking dish with the peppers, seitan and olive oil and place into an preheated 375 degree oven. Depending on the quantity, cooking time will take approximately 15-20 minutes. (source: vegetarian-recipes.suite101.com)
