Preparation

• Start by pounding the garlic in a mortar and pestle, then add the salt, pepper, chili, oil, lemon, thyme and oregano.
• Using the pestle in a circular motion, coarsely grind the mixture then set aside. Break the seitan into small, bite-sized chunks.
• Place a heavy bottomed pan on the heat and wait until it’s hot. Dip the seitan chunks in the marinade making sure they’re completely covered and cook until they’re evenly golden brown.
• Transfer the seitan onto a serving plate, pour the left-over marinade (if any) over, and serve.
• You can also enjoy the seitan as finger food, using toothpicks or skewer sticks.
