So...have you heard about the new PETA commercial/ads with Alicia Silverstone? The links can be found at the bottom of this blog posting. She's very nude...in a tasteful way. Along with her little ads come her favorite vegetarian recipes! One of them I made and found rather yummy. I've posted it below....
Rosemary and Hazelnut-Encrusted Seitan
1 cup toasted hazelnuts
3 Tbsp. minced rosemary
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3-5 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. seitan chunks Place the hazelnuts and rosemary in a food processor and blend until fine. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and add the flour, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip the seitan chunks in the hazelnut mixture, coating completely. Place in the oil and fry until lightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

**TIPS**
What is Seitan? A vegetarian meat substitute.
Seitan (say-TAHN) is a spongy food made from gluten extracted from wheat flour. Known as seitan in Japan, kofu in China, and "wheat meat" and "gluten" here in the US, seitan is a low fat, high protein, firm-textured meat substitute that can be cooked like a cutlet, roast, meat loaf or hamburger. As a protein source, seitan contains about 31 grams of protein per 4 ounce serving, provides a modest amount of B vitamins and iron and contains no saturated fat or cholesterol. ...
Does not sound as yummy as I promised does it? Well, give it a try. I love it.
Where do I find Seitan? At any grocery store. I get mine from Whole Foods.
