How to Prepare Seitan, Carrot, and Pumpkin Stew [Vegan]

  1. If you're making seitan from scratch, prepare it the day before.
  2. In a stock pot, sauté the onion, garlic, and one carrot in a little bit of olive oil. Add the bay leaf, clove, sage, 1.7 ounces of diced pumpkin, leek, and a pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add the tomatoes (along with their juice), paprika, and about a cup of vegetable broth, and cook for 15-20 minutes. Remove the garlic, bay leaf, clove, and sage, then purée with an immersion blender.
  3. Add the remaining carrot and pumpkin. Cover and cook on low until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened. If necessary, add a little bit of water or broth. Season with salt and soy sauce to taste.
  4. Cut the seitan into strips. In a skillet, add the seitan 4 tablespoons olive oil along with the cumin and turmeric. Deglaze using the soy sauce, then set aside.
  5. When the vegetables are tender, stir in the seitan, then let cook for 10 minutes. Let cool a little before serving.
