Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances flavor and helps in sautéing; feel free to use any neutral oil if preferred.
  • 1 medium Onion Builds the flavor base; shallots can be a delightful substitute for a milder taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Adds aromatic depth; fresh garlic is best for maximum flavor.
  • 10 ounces Mushrooms Provide umami and texture; any variety will work, but cremini or button mushrooms are ideal.
  • 8 ounces Seitan Serves as a meaty texture substitute; opt for mushrooms or tofu for gluten-free options.
