Seitan Nuggets and Herbed Potato Wedges

Sorry for the crap picture. I took it with my netbook’s built-in webcam.

Earlier today I decided that it was time I make another batch of seitan. Each time I make seitan I like to try a new recipe since it’s all so new to me. This time I tried Joanna Voight?s Chicken-style Seitan Cutlets. My first go at it was a huge failure. So I had to half the recipe to make it easier to manage.

I tore up a few of the cutlets into approximate chicken nugget size. Something so absurdly arbitrary considering chickens have no nuggets. I then created a tempura-style batter and fried up the seitan nuggets in oil. I know, super healthy food, right?

For the potato wedges, I chopped up a few red potatoes and brought them to a quick boil. After draining them and allowing them to cool a little, I put the wedges in a plastic bag with some oil, salt and some herbs and got them all good and coated. Threw them in the oven to crisp up a bit, and later pigged out..

I haven’t necessarily been craving any junk food lately, but if I were this would have been the perfect cure-all. As it stands, they were still pretty good, if incredibly bad.
