World Cuisine Recipe — Vegan Apple Khoresh with Seitan

Although the authentic Persian recipe contains chicken, this version is made with seitan for a vegan variation. Serve over saffron rice.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• ½ cup seitan, cut into chunks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• 5 tart cooking apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 cup apple juice
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Cooking Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until nearly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Add seitan, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, and coriander and cook for 10 minutes more. Add apples, apple juice, and lime juice and cook until apples are tender, 15 to 30 minutes more. Adjust seasonings, if necessary.
