Recipes with Seitan to Please the Meat Eaters at the Party
Most people weren't raised vegan, and if you're like us, you went vegan for the animals.
However, just because we don't eat animals doesn't mean that we don't crave the taste of grilled chicken, ribs, or bbq.
Happily, we can have our BBQ and eat it too, because we've created the most delicious and easy to make seitan recipes that are as close as you're going to get when it comes to eating cruelty-free meat.
This vegan ribs recipe is from our first cookbook, Great Vegan BBQ Without A Grill, and they are a fan favorite.
They've received great reviews from our readers and our family and friends love them.
Grill it, slather it with bbq sauce, fry it, cook our vegan chicken anyway you like. It's delicious and easy!
If you're missing a good pulled bbq, we've got you.
Make this delicious vegan pulled jackfruit recipe or make our pulled bbq carrots for a delicious and realistic experience.
Vegan meatloaf may not seem like a picnic food, but it can be when it's slathered with smoky bbq sauce!
This slices beautifully and you can serve it as is or make a sandwich with it.
