The arrival of warm weather is marked by the first barbecues, but what if you follow a vegan diet? Preparing a vegan barbecue might seem unusual and complicated, but with our Seitan and Vegetable Skewers, you’ll make your guests happy. To make these Vegan Skewers, we’ll use a protein-rich ingredient typical of vegan cuisine: Seitan.

Made from wheat gluten, once cooked, seitan takes on a meat-like texture. It’s available both plain and grilled, and for more flavorful Seitan Skewers, we recommend choosing the grilled version. The recipe for Vegan Seitan Skewers is very similar to the classic recipe: cut the vegetables, usually Bell Peppers and Zucchini, but Mushrooms and Onions work great too, thread them onto skewers alternating with Seitan, and cook them on a grill pan or directly on the barbecue.

For a perfect vegan or non-vegan barbecue, it’s important to create the right accompaniments: sauces like Barbecue Sauce and Remoulade Sauce, as well as side dishes like Hasselback Potatoes and New Potato Salad with Vegan Mayo are essential!

Note: Seitan can be found in health food stores, specialty grocery stores, or Asian markets. If unavailable, you can substitute it with firm tofu or tempeh, though the texture will be different.

  1. To prepare Seitan Skewers, start by washing the vegetables. Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them into slices about half a centimeter thick. Remove the stem, seeds, and internal membranes from the bell peppers and cut them into chunks roughly the same size as the zucchini slices.
  2. Cut the seitan into medium-sized pieces and begin assembling the skewers by alternating the different ingredients.
  3. Separately, finely chop the rosemary with the garlic and mix with two tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Heat a cast-iron grill pan and place your skewers on it. Using a kitchen brush, baste them with the aromatic oil you just prepared. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, until the vegetables are cooked but still crispy, frequently brushing with the oil and only at the end, season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Your Seitan Skewers are ready to be served, hot and steaming. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Variations and Alternatives

The vegetables can be customized according to your preferences. For example, you might want to add sliced onions or halved button mushrooms for a delicious variation.

Tips

We recommend preparing the Seitan Skewers with fresh, seasonal vegetables. If desired, once assembled, you can let them marinate for a few hours in the aromatic oil before cooking to enhance their flavor. You’ll then use the remaining marinade as indicated in the recipe.

Storage

The Seitan and Vegetable Skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. We recommend reheating them briefly in a pan before serving.
