Hi Alicia and Kind Ones!!! Still with you, just quiet - LOL..can ya believe it's gonna be TWO years for me here in Oct?


So here's my question, and I know it's reaaaally basic, but bear with me - how do tempeh and seitan hold up in slow-cooker recipes? I'm not so worried about tempeh, 'cause you see that all the time in chilis and such - but how 'bout seitan. there are lots of slow-cooker chicken dishes from the past that I'd LOVE to veganize, for example.


Thanks so much,


Karen

Thanks so much, Michelle - good question! Lemme think, maybe like a "chix" and dumplings, cacciatore, gumbo (mmm, can you just imagine...with Field Roast sausage and all that??), "white" chili - so many possibilities, I was thinking generally! I would say sure, Gardein would be right up there - and other time maybe just plain ol' seitan like Westsoy or Lightlife...heck now there are supposedly even mixes - or I could make my own... Would something like Gardein hold up to all the simmering in liquid and all that - does that help you at all? :)
