This recipe is pretty simple. I basically took the popcorn broccoli recipe and made a whole meal of it. I often throw in whatever veggies I have lying around. I also cook it in one big batch at the beginning of every week so I just reheat come dinner time. That way I can have it almost every night. I have been making this with “Go Veggie” brand parmesan style cheese shreds. That makes it vegan. I find that the texture is good too. It gives the seitan crunchy feel but doesn’t burn.
