Pan-Seared Seitan With Mushroom Gravy

Directions

• Slice seitan into 1/2-inch-thick pieces and set aside.
• Heat one tablespoonful of the margarine in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the sliced seitan, onions, and mushrooms and sprinkle with half the salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Cook the seitan for 3 minutes on each side, spooning the melted margarine on top throughout cooking.
• Remove the seitan and vegetables and set aside. Repeat with the remaining seitan and vegetables.
• Once all the seitan is cooked and set aside, heat the remaining two tablespoonfuls of margarine in the skillet and add the flour to make a roux. Stir continuously until it begins to brown.
• Slowly add the vegetable broth and the cooked vegetables, stirring continuously. If the gravy is too thick, add water. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Spoon the gravy over the cooked seitan and serve.
