Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

5. 5. Stir in 3 tablespoons of catsup and 1 cup of vegetable broth. Mix well to combine.
6. 6. Return the browned seitan to the pan, ensuring it is well-coated with the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid or foil.
7. 7. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the protein is tender and the flavors are well-developed.
8. 8. Remove the pan from the oven and garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
