What is seitan?
Called by some "Buddha food" or "wheat meat", seitan is a food originating from Asia and consumed since the 6th century. High in protein (it contains more than 20% vegetable protein1) and full of essential micronutrients such as calcium, iron, phosphorus and magnesium, it is ideal as a replacement for meat (which is higher in fat) if you are looking to minimize meat consumption and increase cardiovascular health. Although the traditional method of making seitan is surprisingly simple, there are products on the market today that stand out by their quality and unparalleled taste and which you will enjoy incorporating to your menu such as seitan from local company L'Issue végane maison.
The Classique: This versatile pre-cooked seitan can be consumed hot or cold. It can also be frozen. Need suggestions for serving it? You and your guests will love it in raclette, or as a healthy alternative to cold cuts on a pizza!
The Costaud des Laurentides: Named after the region where Caroline Brochu and Laurent Van der Wee, a couple in life and in business, founded L'Issue végane maison. This seitan, precooked just like the classic version, is just waiting for your imagination to strike in the kitchen! Try it in your next burger or any other dish where beef would normally have been the star ingredient.
The Piccante: Consider using this seitan (which can also be eaten hot or cold and go in the freezer) to make spaghetti sauce, tacos or a most festive sandwich!
Finally, why not combine these three products for your next cocktail party? They make a great platter, whether during brunch or happy hour. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised by the taste and the healthy alternative!
