Ingredients

  • 8 ounces seitan, chicken style, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 12 cup celery, chopped
  • 12 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 12 teaspoon rosemary
  • 12 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) canground tomatoes, with puree
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated

Method

  • Spray a medium pot with cooking spray and brown seitan over medium high heat (about 5 minutes), then set it aside.
  • Add the oil, celery, onion, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme and garlic and sautee them for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture is limp and fragrant.
  • Stir in the beans, tomatoes, mustard, honey and vinegar, bring the mixture to a boil and then allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes, adding water if neccessary to keep it from sticking and/or drying out.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • When there are 10-15 minutes left add the seitan to the mixture so it can soak up the flavor.
  • In a separate bowl combine the cabbage and carrot.
  • When done, put the BBQ black beans together with some of the cabbage/carrot mixture in some warm tortillas.
  • You can also serve the beans over rice if you wish.
  • Enjoy!
