"If you want to make the seitan instead of buying it, there are recipes on zaar. This is from an old Vegetarian Times Holiday magazine for Christmas and Thanksgiving. "This French-inspired stew gets its sumptuous flavor from seitan and vegetables that are first roasted in a fragrant marinade and then stewed with tomatoes and wine." You can make ahead and add the peas just before serving. They suggest prep the veggies with the marination and then simply put them all in the oven together to cook to help save time."

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
