Blue Corn Fried Seitan

Yesterday I had an adventure in the kitchen. First, I began my weekly homemade seitan ritual. Then I had a vision. Back in my early days as a vegan, when I was still in high school, my favorite meal was Fried Seitan, a recipe I found in the very Peta2 booklet that led me to become vegan. So I decided to take my old school favorite, and spice it up a bit, literally. Unfortunately, I was afraid of going overboard and accidently under-did the heat. However, they still came out great! A little on the oily side, I usually fry with sunflower oil but I was out, so I used what I had on hand- grapeseed, which as I understand is actually good for frying because it has a really high smoke point. Any-who, I was pleased with the results and will surely make them again soon. Look out for updates! :D
