INGREDIENTS

Silken tofu, vital wheat, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, vegan butter, garlic, white wine, capers, lemon, Italian parsley

1. Prepare the Seitan in the bowl of a food processor by combining the vital wheat gluten, tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder + salt. 2. Shape each piece into a thin 5  to 6 inch long oval that resembles chicken breast.

3. Place the cutlets in a steamer basket, cover with a lid and steam for 25 minutes flipping them half way so they cook evenly. 4. Prepare the batter and panko coating. Dip each cutlet in the batter and coat in the panko bread crumbs.

5. Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden crispy on each side. 6. In a medium sauce pan make the Piccata sauce with the butter, garlic, capers and white wine. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and serve with the crispy cutlets and mashed potatoes.
