Instructions

For the Seitan Bourguignon:

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and tilt the pan to coat the bottom. Add the seitan to the pan, and cook until browned. Transfer the seitan to a bowl, and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Over medium heat cook the onion 3 to 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the carrots and cook for about 5 minutes more. Add the mushrooms and cook until their moisture is released, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme, and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, and stir to coat. Add the butter, pearl onions, wine, and ketchup to the pan, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper, adding more if desired.
  4. Add the seitan to the pan, and stir to incorporate. 

For the Cauliflower Mash:

  1. Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket or pot with a small amount of water. Sprinkle with rosemary and salt. Steam until the cauliflower is tender.  
  2. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor (draining any excess water). Add the butter, salt, pepper, splash of milk, and vinegar (if using), and process until smooth and fluffy, stopping to scrape down sides as necessary. 
  3. If the cauliflower mash has cooled too much, return it to a dry pan to warm through before serving.
