My go-to seitan recipe though is the cutlet recipe from "American Vegan Kitchen." You make 10 cutlets and cook them in the oven in broth. They have mashed up chickpeas and soy flour in them, so they're not as chewy/soft as boiled seitan. They keep well in the freezer too.

Upton's Naturals is the exception to that because their seitan is AWESOME - but the Whitewave stuff & a few of the other brands are nast, IMO.<br /><br />Plus, homemade seitan is so much cheaper & healthier!<br /><br />Nick would LOVE this sandwich.
