Try this vegan twist on a classic Italian dish: seitan carpaccio. Thin slices of savoury seitan steak are topped with a refreshing arugula salad, crunchy pine nuts, and shavings of vegan Parmesan. Drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing, this dish is sure to impress. Serve with a side of toasty baguette for a satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.Drizzle 4 plates with balsamic vinegar and spread with a brush so that the entire plate is thinly covered.
2.Toast the pine nuts and wash the rocket.
3.Place the thin slices of seitan steak, the rocket and the pine nuts on the plates and shave the Parmesan very thinly over them. Now season with salt, lemon juice and pepper and drizzle the olive oil over the top. You can also add a little balsamic vinegar.
4.Serve immediately with the baguette.
5.To make it easier to cut the seitan steak into wafer-thin slices, freeze the steak a little beforehand. To do this, you can place the somewhat thicker slices between two freezer bags and carefully beating them flat with a meat tenderiser or a casserole dish. Alternatively, you can use a very sharp knife or a slicing machine.

If you’re a fan of carpaccio but looking for a vegan alternative to the traditional beef, seitan carpaccio is the perfect option. Seitan, also known as wheat gluten, is a high-protein meat substitute that has a chewy texture and is perfect for slicing into thin, savoury steaks.

To make vegan seitan carpaccio, you’ll need to start by preparing your seitan steak. You can either purchase pre-made seitan steaks or make your own by marinating and grilling thin slices of seitan. Once your seitan is cooked and cooled, you can begin assembling your carpaccio.

To plate your carpaccio, start by drizzling balsamic vinegar over the surface of your plate. Use a brush to spread the vinegar thinly, covering the entire plate. Next, toast some pine nuts and wash a handful of rocket. Arrange the thin slices of seitan steak, rocket, and pine nuts on top of the balsamic vinegar, then shave vegan Parmesan over the top. Finish the dish by seasoning it with salt, lemon juice, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve your vegan seitan carpaccio immediately, with a side of toasty baguette for dipping. This refreshing and flavorful dish is sure to impress vegans and non-vegans alike.
