	it for the first time, and it is exquisite, so I'm posting it again

		for all who may have missed it the first time around. For those who don't know, "seitan" is a meat substitute made of wheat gluten. It's available in convenient packages in our food co-op; it may be hard to come by in some jurisdictions. I don't have a recipe for making seitan from scratch but I know it can be done. Maybe someone else can post such a procedure if they know it. Enjoy! Richard Darsie darsie@ece.ucdavis.edu ========================================== Irish Seitan Stew 2 c. diced seitan 1 c. peeled and diced rutabaga (I used turnips) 1 c. chopped onions 1 c. diced carrots 2 bay leaves 1/2 tsp. each rosemary, dry basil 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed 1 T. chopped fresh parsley 2 tsp. light sesame oil 2 c. water 5 tsp. tamari or soy sauce 1/2 c. celery, sliced thin on the diagonal 1 c. frozen peas 4 T. arrowroot disolved in 4 T. water Instructions: Saute first nine ingredients in oil in a medium sauce pan about eight minutes, then add water and tamari and simmer about ten minutes, until vegs are tender crisp. Add celery and peas and cook another minute or two, then remove from heat and vigorously stir in arrowroot. Return to medium heat and stir until thickened. In addition to the above ingredients I added broccoli and asparagus to the stew. VERY tasty!!
