Tip of Serge:
Mexican cuisine with vegetarian seitan mince
If Mexican cuisine is anything, it’s extraordinarily colourful! The Mexican culinary culture stretches back thousands of years and is a melange of local ingredients with Spanish and other European influences. The cumin, bell peppers, tomatoes and garlic give this dish of vegetarian seitan mince it’s Mexican flavour. Have you ever tried Bertyn seitan mince? It is a high-quality mince made of wheat and is the perfect low-carb meat substitute!
Add cooked kidney beans or corn to the Mexican stew. Now we’re really talking Mexican!
Chef Chantal Voets also has handy advice; the coriander used in this recipe is actually a traditional Asian herb that is extraordinarily aromatic in both scent and taste. Coriander is the perfect companion.
