  1. Didn't have any yellow squash or zucchini so we added broccoli and mushrooms. It took longer to make than expected, and the seitan was kind of a pain, but worth it. The veggies and sauce were our favorite parts so next time I may skip the seitan all together. Served over brown rice.
     
  2. Great dish! And simple. I used broccoli instead of zucchini, threw in some sugar snaps and mushrooms. There's definitely room for more veggies here! I'll add more next time. Thanks!
     
  3. I LOVE this recipe! It made a wonderful and extremely satisfying meal! Thank you for posting!
     
  4. My family really, really enjoyed this. I used homemade seitan from Vegan with a Vengeance. The dish even looked pretty. I served it with an asian flavored sauteed broccoli dish to round out the meal. Very excellent. Will be making it again.
