Cornmeal Crusted Seitan Recipes

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED TILAPIA WITH SALSA

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal and paprika; season generously with salt and pepper. Separate fillets into thick and thin sides. Dredge each piece in cornmeal mixture, patting it on to coat completely.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook as many pieces as will fit (without crowding) until golden brown and firm, about 2 minutes per side for thin pieces and 4 minutes per side for thick ones. Transfer to a plate; sprinkle with salt, if desired, and cover loosely to keep warm. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil and fish. Serve with Spicy Black Beans, if desired, and salsa.

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED SEITAN

Steps:

• Combine the cornmeal and 3/4 cup boiling water in a large heatproof mixing bowl. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir. Add the flour, optional yeast, seasoning, and salt, and whisk together.
• Add the seitan to the bowl and stir to coat the seitan pieces evenly.
• Heat the oil in a wide nonstick skillet. Arrange the seitan in the skillet in a single layer, if possible, or work in batches. Sauté over medium-high heat on all sides until the cornmeal turns golden brown and crusty. Serve at once.
• Menu Suggestions
• Like the previous recipe, this works nicely in a Parisian-style assiette. See the suggestions in the box on page 67; as well as the menu suggestions with Seitan and Mushrooms in Paprika Cream (page 68).
• This goes well with whole-grain dishes; here are a few ideas. With any of these, add some colorful raw vegetables or a simple salad: Quinoa with Wild Mushrooms and Mixed Squashes (page 90); Quinoa with Cauliflower, Cranberries, and Pine Nuts (page 92); Curried Cashew Couscous (page 93); or Lemony Couscous with Broccoli (page 94).
• Cornmeal-Crusted Seitan is a good partner for Sweet and White Potato Salad with Mixed Greens (page 188) or Warm Mediterranean Potato Salad (page 193). With the latter, add some grape tomatoes to the plate.
