There’s no shortage of things to make with my seitan bacon! This is but one of my suggestions. You could also make my neighbor’s 15-bean soup or veganize Southern Living’s succotash.
Basically, anything that includes diced ham will work – and little is more iconic than split pea soup.
Split Pea Soup with “Ham”
Description
Once you've made seitan bacon, this recipe comes together quickly!
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut “bacon”, onion, celery, and carrots into small dice. Maintain separate piles of “bacon” and onion, but pile celery and carrots together.
-
In a lg pot, melt oil over med heat. Add “bacon” and sauté 5-10 min, until lightly crusted. Remove leaving oil behind and set aside.
-
Transfer onion to pot. Sauté 5 min, then add celery and carrots. Sauté another 5 min.
-
Incorporate remaining ingredients (minus croutons). Increase heat to med-hi and bring to a rapid boil, then partially cover and reduce heat to med-lo. Simmer and stir occasionally 50-60 min, until peas have broken down.
-
Remove bay leaf. Serve immediately with croutons or other garnishes as desired.
Note
The possibilities of my seitan bacon are endless! I'm partial to my neighbor's 15-bean soup, but you could make a number of other things. I also like using it to veganize Southern Living's succotash recipe.
