Never tried seitan? We prepared this vegetarian protein by rolling it in fiery jerk seasoning and pan-browning it, and then paired it with a delicious hot-sweet mango salsa and simple, cooling potato salad. Pronounced say-tahn, it is a form of protein derived from wheat, that is mild and slightly bitter, but it readily takes on the flavors of the ingredients it is paired with. There are a variety of ready-made seitan products available; you’ll usually find them in the produce section. You can substitute fresh peaches or pineapple for the mango, if you like, or use a spicier chile pepper, like serrano, to really crank up the heat.
