Battered seitan with tomato and basil

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pack of sliced seitan from Soria Natural
• 100 g of chickpea flour
• Dried basil
• 1 tsp of garlic powder
• 1 tsp of sweet paprika
• 1 tsp of ground cumin
• Panko
• Fried-egg-flavored potato chips from Soria Natural

Tomato:

• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 chive
• 500 g of canned peeled pear tomatoes
• 1 basil sprig
• Sea salt from Soria Natural

DIRECTIONS:

Chop the garlic and the chive and stir-fry with a little oil. Once the chive is poached, add salt and the tomato. Cook for a few minutes and add the basil. Let it simmer until the tomato is fried.

We can add a little sugar or bicarbonate of soda if the tomato is sour.

Put the chickpea flour in a bowl along with water and spices and stir until the texture is similar to beaten eggs. Add salt and set aside.

Separately, chop half a bag of potato chips with your hands and add the same amount of panko. Mix well.

Pass the seitan slices through the dough of chickpea flour, strain a little, and then pass it through the potato and panko mixture, slightly pressing.

Fry the seitan slices or bake them in the oven at 200º with a fan until golden.

Serve with the tomato sauce, some fresh basil leaves and fried-egg flavored potato chips on the side.
