Daiya Cheesesteak

Hey. So, how’s it going? It’s October 1st already? Guess I’d better bust out my first VeganMoFo post then, eh? My google reader is already swollen with new posts, so I guess the rest of you are more on top of it than I am.

Okay, maybe you are all tired of hearing about Daiya vegan cheese. But I’m going to talk about it anyway. Because it’s awesome. And I can’t stop thinking of stuff I want to make with it. How about cheesesteaks? I can’t remember the last time I had one. I had some seitan already made and on hand. Had onions and red bell peppers. Had the Daiya already. Add a bun and it sounds like a cheesesteak to me.

I can’t really offer up a recipe. I just halved and sliced the onion, cut the bell pepper in strips and sliced the seitan. Fried the onion and peppers in a little olive oil until they started to soften, then threw in the seitan. Seasoned it all up with salt and pepper and cooked until seitan started browning. Then I tossed some of the mix on a split roll, sprinkled with Daiya and stuck it under the broiler until it melted but before the bread burned. Added mustard and Veganaise and broccoli on the side to be all healthy and junk. See, easy!
