My boyfriend and i visited Lisbon a while back to celebrate out anniversary and on the first evening we went to a Vegan restaurant “Ao 26 Vegan food project”. I always like to explore the taste of local food, so we chose this dish from their menu that is a traditional Portuguese steak. We fell inlove with the amazing seitan taste and the sauce. Although, i am not creating the exact recipe, but inspired.
The original traditional recipe is made by pork, therefore, i am making it with seitan, and adding beetroot for more color and flavour. Since i do not have a food processor on hand, i’ve decided to make the purée and then add it to the wheat gluten.
This recipe if very easy to make and cab be for a date night and romantic dinner evening. it is so vegan and so delicious!
Seitan steaks
Purée ingredients
1 medium Beetroot 1 medium Yellow onion 2-3 Garlic gloves 1/2 liter water (add more if needed) 1 Veggie broth cube 2 teaspoons Salt 1 teaspoon Paprika powder 1/2 teaspoon dry Rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dry Thyme 1 tablespoon Olive oil 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
Purée Method
Add the water in pan and bring to boil
Cut the beetroot into cubes, garlic in half and onion into quarters
Add all in the pan on medium high heat till all soft (add more water if needed)
Add the rest of the ingredients and use a blender or hand blender to smooth
Add the wet ingredients and knead till all mixed and well combined into one ball
Divide into 4 piece and press them with fingers
Use the rolling pin to make the steak shape, do not make them too thin
let them rest for 10-15min
Next is the simmering step
3 Liter water 1 Large Yellow onion with skin 5 Garlic cloves with skin Fresh herbs 2 cubes Veggie stock Salt (optional)
Cut the onion into half keep the skin but wash it before hand
Keep garlic with skin
place all in a pan, bring it to boil and switch to low medium heat
One the water stops boiling, place the steaks inside
leave them to simmer for 45min by then they should flow
Take them out and let them rest for couple of minutes before grilling
Olive oil Ras Al-Hanut Spice Sumac Spice
When time to grill, brush olive oil on top of each side sprinkle the spices and grill till golden brown
You can also make you own spice mix and used vegan butter instead of oil or any other oils
If you do not have a grill you can also use a pan or an oven
I grilled some veggies (3 different color of bell pepper, chili, mushrooms, garlic, onion,and cherry tomatoes ) with the seitan to add more color and flavour, brushed the same oil and spices
Hope you enjoyed this recipe and found it easy to make
Hi Friends! Now that cherry blossom season is over, you can guess what will be coming next.. CHERRIES! I think chocolate and cherries make the best cake, don’t you agree?
Ingredients
for the chocolate cake I did those ingredients twice separately but you can double the pattern and make one cake
1 Cup flour 1/2 Cup cacao powder 1/4 Cup coconut sugar 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder pinch salt 1 Teaspoon baking soda 80ml cocount oil 150ml vegan quark (used Alpro go on) 1 Teaspoon apple cider vinegar 240ml Plant-based milk 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix flour, cacao, sugar and baking powder together in one bowl
In a small bowl place plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar and leave a side to activate 5-10min
in a 3rd bowl place the quark and baking soda and set a side to activate 5-10min
When ready, mix oil, vanilla extract and then add the activated plant-based milk and quark and mix
add the rest of the ingredients slowly till well combined
pour the pattern in greased cake pan
place in the oven on 180C for 35-40min
When ready put the cake a side to cool down
once it completely cooled you can cut the cake into half
Between the cake pieces put seedless cherries(can also cut in half) and vegan whipped cream
depending on the size of the cake pan but you might need 350-400ml of whipped cream (Used Alpro) and (300-500g of cherries depending on their size :))
when done, place in the fridge for couple of hours before serving
