How To Make Your Own Seitan Bacon
At CRVN we’re constantly trying to find new ways to bring you new content and connect with one another. Thank you to our wonderful members who continue to donate, spread CRVN’s mission and are sharing ways to enjoy vegan food, including by sharing their favorite vegan recipes.
Star CRVN Member, Rachael I., has taken the time to share her expertise with us and walk us through a vegan seitan bacon recipe from The Vegan Wrapper. Watch her video, part II of her seitan series here. (Here is the first video, which talks all about seitan.)
Seitan is an excellent source of vegan protein, which sometimes can be a concern for many who are transitioning to a vegan diet. The world of vegan of food is extremely diverse and there are many opportunities to consume protein — seitan is just one of them!
If you’re looking for a recipe for veggie burgers to make to eat your vegan seitan with, check out CRVN’s Virtual Cooking Together beet and mushroom burger episode here.
A special congratulations goes out to Rachael as she was the winner of CRVN’s Virtual Vegan Cooking Competition with her dish for Vegan Comfort Food. You can see her winning entry on Capital Region Vegan Network’s Facebook page.
