rabbitandwolves.com Wrap each piece in parchment paper and put them in a steam basket over water. Bring the water to a simmer, cover and steam the seitan until firm.

rabbitandwolves.com While the seitan steams make the roasted tomatoes and balsamic reduction. Preheat oven. Toss tomatoes in olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place them on a sheet pan and roast . Press them down a little with a fork to flatten. Then roast until juicy and a little brown. Remove from the oven.
