Vegan Seitan Kebabs With Turmeric Sauce
If you love to grill as much as we do you need to try these seitan kebabs pronto. They are so good! We have have made them twice this week to test and get just right and I could totally eat them again tomorrow. For the skewers we alternated pieces of seitan and cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes are a perfect combination with this. When lightly grilled they are so juicy and will burst open with flavor. We like to serve this over basmati rice or on pita bread to make a wrap. I find that turmeric can be overpowering on its own but the turmeric sauce ties everything together. Eric has out done himself this time. He altered the flavor of his basic seitan recipe just a bit but it is just as easy to make.

Instructions
To make the seitan
-
Mix together dry seitan ingredients with wet ingredients. Mix to form dough. Form into a flat piece of dough the shape of your small baking dish. We use a square glass 8×8 casserole dish. Then bake the seitan at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. The seitan can be made the day before. It will keep for a few days in the fridge.
To make the turmeric sauce
-
Mix together 1/2 cup of plain vegan yogurt with the garlic powder, onion powder, citrus juice (lime or lemon), turmeric, and salt. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
To make the Seitan Kebabs
-
Preheat your grill. When your seitan has cooled use a bread knife to slice into cubes. Slide the seitan cubes onto bamboo skewers alternating with cherry tomatoes. Throw the seitan kebabs on to the grill and cook with the lid down for about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the kebabs and grill on the other side for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with cilantro and turmeric sauce drizzled on top. We like to serve with basmati rice or pita bread.
