Method

1. Clean the leeks by removing the green ends and slicing the white and light green parts into thin rounds.
2. Cut the seitan into thin strips or small bite-sized pieces.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the leeks and a pinch of salt, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth, cover with a lid, and let the leeks braise for 8-10 minutes until very soft and creamy.
5. Add the seitan strips and mustard to the skillet, increasing the heat to medium-high to brown the seitan slightly.
6. Once the broth has reduced to a thick sauce, stir in the nutritional yeast and turn off the heat.
7. Toast the wholegrain bread slices in a separate pan or toaster until crunchy.
8. Serve the seitan and leeks hot with the toasted bread on the side to soak up the sauce.

Tips

• Braising the leeks with broth creates a natural creaminess without needing heavy fats or plant creams.
• Nutritional yeast adds a savory, cheesy depth that perfectly complements the mild flavor of the seitan.
