How to Prepare Seitan Coq au Vin [Vegan]

Mix the flour, salt, a pepper together in a shallow dish. Coat the seitan cutlets in the mixture; set aside. Warm the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add the vegan bacon. Cook until crispy on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside. Put the seitan cutlets in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until brown and crispy.
Move the seitan to one side of the pan and add the mushrooms and onions. Cook until tender. Crumble the bacon into the pan and add all of the remaining ingredients to the pan including the bouquet garni, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes. Remove the bouquet garni. Serve the cutlets along with a generous helping of vegetables and sauce.

Notes

I ended up using jarred pearl onions, but you can use frozen and it will cook and taste the same. Also, I used button mushrooms, but you can use whichever kind you like most.
