HOW TO USE SEITAN

Your Culinary Adventure Starts Now: How to Unleash the Power of Seitan

So, you have your seitan, and you’re standing in your kitchen, ready to create something amazing. The brilliant news is that seitan is one of the most versatile and forgiving ingredients you can have on hand. The simple answer to "how do I use it?" is this: use it in any dish where you would typically use meat. It’s that easy. It’s your 1-to-1 swap for creating plant-based versions of all your favourite meals, from the comforting to the spectacular.

A World of Kitchen Inspiration

Forget being limited by old recipes; seitan invites you to reimagine them. All the beautiful dishes you see on our website, from the product labels to our gallery, were made right here by us. Think of them as your starting point:

• Hearty British Classics: Craving a Sunday roast with all the trimmings? Seitan makes a magnificent, sliceable centrepiece. Chopped into chunks, it transforms a simple stew or casserole into a rich, protein-packed meal. It’s also the secret to a perfect pie filling or a next-level full English breakfast.
• Global Flavours: Take your taste buds on a journey. Slice it for sizzling fajitas, shred it for savoury burritos, or cube it for a fragrant, bubbling curry. Toss it into fried rice or a vibrant stir-fry for a meal that comes together in minutes. It’s also fantastic layered in a rich lasagna or scattered over a pizza.
• Quick & Easy Lunches: Your midday meal just got a serious upgrade. Thinly slice our Smokey Seitan for the ultimate 'SLT', or tuck our Chilli & Garlic seitan into a wrap with fresh salad. It’s even delicious simply sliced and stuffed into a jacket potato.

The "Proper Protein" Powerhouse

There’s a reason the word seitan is Japanese for “proper protein.” With a protein content of around 30%, it’s on par with chicken breast and boasts more protein per gram than steak, pork, fish, or eggs. But it’s not just about what it gives you; it’s also about what it doesn’t. You get all that satisfying texture and incredible flavour with none of the cholesterol or saturated fats found in animal products. Plus, by choosing seitan, you’re using a food with a tiny environmental footprint compared to the livestock industry—a choice that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your body.

Your Kitchen, Your Rules

There are no complex instructions here. Seitan is fully cooked and ready to go.

• Fry it in a pan for crispy edges.
• Bake it in the oven as part of a larger dish.
• Grill it on skewers for a summery BBQ.
• Toss it into a salad for a protein boost.
• Eat it cold, sliced straight from the pack for a super-fast snack.

The options truly are limitless. Let your creativity run wild, take inspiration from our photos, and get ready to discover just how incredible plant-based cooking can be.
