This sandwich is great hot or cold, in
summer or winter and whether you’re looking to eat light or if you have the
appetite of a linebacker. For a less exotic (but still pretty delicious)
recipe, you can omit the fruit altogether and substitute a couple slices of
jack cheese and use blue cheese dressing instead of lime-poppy seed dressing.
Recipe makes 6-8 sandwiches
Recipe makes 6-8 sandwiches
Prep time: 1 cocktail
6 TBSP olive or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced into thin rings or half rings
1-2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips (color doesn’t
matter)
2 8-ounce packages seitan, unflavored/traditional, rinsed and patted dry
10 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup jerk paste (or to taste) (click here for recipe)
2 TBSP soy sauce
1 tsp cayenne (or more to taste), optional
¼ cup plain, full-fat
yogurt
Hoagie or Kaiser bread
2 mango, peeled and cut into silver-dollar-sized hunks or
strips (or chunks of pineapple)
A batch of ime-poppy seed
dressing (click here for recipe)
Add half the oil to pan on medium high heat. As the oil warms up, break the seitan into bite-size chunks, if necessary. Toss in the seitan in the hot pan and saute until the outside gets a bit browned and crispy on the edges, about 6 minutes. Then, transfer to some paper towels and pat excess oil off. Let cool.
While seitan cooks (or while it cools), heat the remaining oil in another frying pan. Add onion and bell pepper. Sauté until onion becomes translucent and pepper softens, about 7-10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté another 3 minutes. Add jerk, soy sauce, and cayenne. Sauté another couple minutes. Stir in yogurt and simmer another minute. Remove from heat and stir in seitan.

Salt seitan/veggie mixture to taste. If you’re having the
sandwich hot, lightly toast the bun or bread. Make sandwiches with a heap of
the veggie/seitan mixture, a few pieces of mango, and a healthy drizzle of lime
poppy seed sauce.
