  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb seitan, divided into 2 pieces
  • 12 ounces small red potatoes
  • 1 cup baby carrots

Method

  • Combine salt, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  • Player the potatoes, carrots and onions on top of the seitan.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients well and pour into crockpot.
  • Cook on high for 8 hours.
  • To serve, place vegetables into a serving dish. Take out seitan and thinly slice using a serrated knife. Spoon gravy onto seitan or place on table so guests can help themselves.
