| Chorizo-Spinach Sopes. As you can see, I so anxious to sink my teeth in that I forgot to take the photo. Better late than never! |
Saturday night, my pan-pal the Gastronomist Economist and I made a dinner using recipes from Terry Hope Romero's Viva Vegan!, a cookbook with vegan latin food recipes. Rather than taking meaty Latin recipes and swapping in beans for the pork, Romero offers several recipes for home-made seitan. Unlike any seitan recipes I've seen before, the recipes include both chickpea flour and nutritional yeast in the gluten flour mix. While I avoid commercial meat substitutes (too much sodium and way too many unpronounceable ingredients), I was intrigued by Romero's seitan preparation.
