Strokin' Off with the Dark Lord



This recipe is definitely a comfort food for me. It's also good for feeding large groups, if you have a band staying with you, or if you're just feeding a group after a black mass.

Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs seitan
1 Box of spiral pasta
Enough Earth Balance to coat your pot
1 Onion
1 lbs mushrooms
1 cube of No Beef Bouillon(if you can't find it vegetable broth works fine)
2 cups water
1 Bag of frozen peas
1 cup of toffuti cream cheese

First, start boiling water in a large sauce pan to make your pasta. While you're doing that dice your onions, and chop your mushrooms. Once your water is boiling, put your pasta in and boil until al dente. Coat another pot with some Earth Balance or other vegan butter, and simmer your diced onion over medium-high heat. In a skillet, add a few Tbsp of Earth Balance and grill your seitan until brown. Usually during this step I add my favorite ingredient, Worcestershire sauce to add a more meaty flavor.

Once your onions are translucent add your chopped mushrooms and let them simmer a bit, add a little bit of salt to help the process along. Once your mushrooms are tender add your two cups of water and no beef bouillon/vegetable broth, making kind of a mushroom broth. Now add your grilled seitan and bag of frozen (now thawed) peas, put the lid on and let this mix simmer for about 5 minutes.

Once your mushroom broth has simmered a little bit, add your pasta, and toffuti cream cheese and mix it all up really well, then season with paprika. Now put the lid back on your pot, and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. After 20 minutes, you can now stroke it with the dark lord! This recipe should feed about 5 people, if you have more just double it!
