Seitan Bourguignon is a plant-based twist on the classic beef bourguignon recipe, traditionally from the Burgundy region of France. Instead of beef, this recipe uses seitan, an alternative protein source made from wheat gluten that has a texture similar to meat. The seitan is simmered in a rich red wine and vegetable broth sauce along with the classic bourguignon vegetables like carrots, celery, and pearl onions. This dish is perfect for a hearty and satisfying dinner on a chilly evening, and pairs well with a crusty baguette and a glass of red wine.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.In a large bowl, coat the seitan cubes in flour and set aside.
3.Heat the vegetable oil and margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, leeks, celery, and carrots and cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
4.Add the seitan to the pan and cook until browned on all sides.
5.Add the wine, broth, miso, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
6.Meanwhile, in a separate pan, cook the pearl onions with the margarine over medium heat until caramelized. Add the water and sugar, and continue cooking until the onions are tender.
7.Add the mushrooms to the seitan mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
8.Transfer the seitan mixture to an oven-safe dish, and top with the caramelized onions. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
9.Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
