Seitan with vegetables in papillote
This seitan with vegetables in papillote is a very easy dish to make, that requires little effort and that results in a very rich and concentrated flavor and aroma thanks to the way of cooking it, since its ingredients are baked in their own juice .
When cooking in papillote, the food acquires a greater flavor and a better texture, because the steam that circulates inside the bag during baking, allows the ingredients to cook evenly and the different nuances of each one of them are enhanced and permeate the base, the seitan in this case.
By wrapping the seitan with vegetables in papillote, the vegetables are releasing their juices and permeating the seitan, which is so tasty, tender and delicious.

Add a few drops of the oil where the vegetables have been cooked, put the ends of the paper together and fold them over themselves and folding the sides downwards, forming a pouch, so that it is well closed but loose and so the steam can circulate inside When we have all the bags closed, we are passing them to a baking tray.
