Boff Bourgi-nom-nom
serves 4
Ingredients
1lb (450g) Seitan
3 Tblsp Olive Oil
1 medium Onion, sliced
10 Button Mushrooms, quartered
1 Tblsp Flour
1/4 Pint (50ml) Vegetable Stock
1/4 Pint (50ml) Good Red Wine
Pinch of Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
2 Cloves of Garlic, diced
Method
Cut the Seitan into 2 inch cubes. Heat one Tblsp of the Olive Oil in a large pan and fry the cubed Seitan until browned all over, be careful to make sure it doesn't burn. When done, place in a large casserole dish.
Fry the Mushrooms and Onions for 5 minutes in the same pan using one Tblsp of the Olive Oil.
Add these to the casserole dish.
Heat the remaining Olive Oil and add the flour, allow to brown, stirring continuously. Then add the stock to the pan and stir really well for a few minutes.Transfer this to the casserole dish. Also add to the dish the Wine, Thyme, Bay Leaf and Garlic and season well with Salt and Pepper.
Give everything a quick stir.
Cover and cook in the oven at 180 degrees for 40 mins.
I served this up with some Leeky Mashed Potato, steamed Carrots and Spinach with Sesame Seeds.
The Leeky Mash is really easy:
Slice a Leek and rinse well. Steam for 10 mins then drain and set to one side. Boil your Potatoes for 20 ish minutes. Drain and mash. Add a teaspoon of Whole Grain Mustard, Salt, Pepper and a drizzle of Soya Milk. Then add the Leeks. Stir everything up and place in a dish.
Drizzle Olive Oil over the top and grill for 10 mins.
YUM!
Leeky Mashed Potatoes
Mah dinner!

Meat(less)alicious!
And I was just about to tag you damn it!
'I'll get you next time Gadget.....' Mwahahahah *strokes Evil MAD Cat*.....
i am SO in the mood for a meal like this! so hearty.
Yummers... did you make your own seitan? That whole meal looks great. I think I know what I'm going to do with the forlorn leeks in my fridge...
looks terrific! you are doing so well on MoFo, I've already missed two days. eek!
YUM!! I can see why that was one of your favorite dishes! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Looks really good! What recipe did you use for your seitan?
You've been tagged :)
But I see you've already been tagged by someone but I also tagged you to show off your freezer contents. Can't wait to see what you've got stashed!

This sounds so yummy! I love veganizing my childhood favorites!
Ooh, I'm coming to eat at your house!
nice. it looks so good and like an 'official' dinner (i have those so rarely)!
That looks so yummy! And freakishly meaty.
That looks lush - so much comfort-food floating about the blogoshpere just now - wonder why!!
What a great comfort food meal!
Thanks for the tag sal.
Rabbit - hahaha - gutted!
felicity - I did make my own seitan. I used the one out of Vcon for a chage. I'd never made that one before. To be honest - this recipe would be better using baked Seitan and not boiled.
karyn - I work on a computer all day every day and MoFo'ing is a great reason to skive! LOL!
Eesh - thanks for the tag. I made the seitan recipe out of Vcon but I wouldn't do it again for Boff Bourgi-nom-nom. I would use baked seitan in future.
It is very meaty in texture and SOOOO comforting and yummy!
I actually curled up on the couch and purred after I ate this.
Thanks for all your lovely comments.
You guys ROCK!!
Mmm that looks so good. I don't even like mushrooms but I still want to make it!!
WOW I cannot wait to make that when the temperature drops!!!
wow! that looks amazing. those potatoes look really easy to make, but definitely more interesting than regular mashed.
"Todays fun and frivolity was brought to you using the letters Mo and Fo."....brilliant!
