What a great dish.. I am not a big fan of seitan, but this was really good. I took my chicken style seitan (based on a recipe from Real Food Daily) and allowed it to chill for several days in Jerk Marinade. I was lazy, so I baked it instead of grilled it. I imagine that grilling would be even more delicious and would definitely make a prettier plate presentation. I only added 1 tbsp of sesame oil to the marinade and no fat to the rest of the meal, but if you don't count fat grams, extra olive oil would make this dish amazing, I think.
The marinade was made from: cilantro, green onions, lots of garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, lime juice, lime zest, orange juice, orange zest, braggs, toasted sesame oil and a tbsp of sucanat.
I served it with Green Chile Brown Rice, half a sweet potato, Pineapple relish and green beans...
The relish consisted of crushed pineapple, cilantro, scallions, red pepper, habanero pepper, lime juice, sucanat and sea salt. Delish..
Sounds really great, but I have one question: What is bragg's? I've never seen that before.
ReplyDeleteI am growing accustomed to a little red pepper or jalepeno here and there. I might burst into flame (like jack jack in the movie incredibles) after trying habenero, but would risk it for a bite of that plate of yums.

The relish sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love Jamaican flavors like Jerk and pinapple. That looks and sounds delectable.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you posting more frequently.
Wow! That looks and sounds like a dish from an upscale restaurant or something. The pineapple relish sounds particularly good... I have not ever experimented with jerk seasoning, but the flavors are tasty and I'm really going to give it a go. How much habanero did you use? I've never cooked with that kind of pepper before, but from what I understand a little bit goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy!
