Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• ⅔ cup water
• ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• ⅓ cup basmati rice
• 1 small zucchini, cubed
• ½ onion, cubed
• 4 ½ ounces seitan beef, sliced
• 1 teaspoon pure coconut oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Soak basmati rice in 1/2 cup cold water for 30 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Combine zucchini and onion in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and boil for about 20 minutes. Drain. Place in a blender; blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour pureed zucchini mixture into a pot over medium heat. Add seitan, coconut oil, cumin, coriander, curry powder, salt, turmeric, pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer until sauce is thick, adding a tablespoon of water from time to time to prevent burning, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, combine 2/3 cup water and soaked rice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 5

Serve seitan with hot rice.
