1/3 cup Diced tomatoes, canned (for seitan; crushed; (1/2 14-ounce can crushed; ))

1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh)

Instructions


  1. First, make the rice. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook the onions for 5 minutes, or until they're soft and clear, stirring frequently. Add the peppers, carrot, and cauliflower. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is just tender. Add the rice, tomatoes, smoked paprika, salt, crushed red pepper, and water or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the rice. Simmer for 35-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the liquid. Remove the rice from heat and adjust seasonings to taste.
  2. While the rice cooks, make the seitan sofrito. Place the garlic, onion, and peppers into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S blade and pulse until everything is finely chopped. (Alternately, finely chop by hand.)
  3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seitan strips and cook, stirring, until they're lightly browned. Remove the seitan strips from the skillet.
  4. Add another 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the chopped garlic, onion, and pepper mixture, along with the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, and cayenne. Wait until the mixture is bubbly, then simmer it for 10 minutes, covered, or until it has thickened up (it should be the texture of a chunky tomato sauce). Stir in the seitan strips.
  5. To make the kale, place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Massage the kale with our hands until it's tender, then season to taste.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the rice, seitan, and kale evenly into two separate bowls. 
  7. Serve with any toppings you like: hot sauce, chopped cilantro or parsley, or chopped green onions are all great!
  8. Refrigerate the other half for tomorrow.
