**Pizza with Seitan, Broccoli and Daiya Cheese**

I am always looking for creative ways to prepare leftover homemade seitan since one package feeds our family for four days! Although it's super economical and convenient, it can get a bit monotonous so this weekend I used seitan in a few recipes where I would normally use another vegan meat. For this delicious, easy pizza I used seitan as my meat instead of using veggie ham or sausage.

This is a perfect use for the Seitan Steak. The texture is amazing and the seitan is juicy and tender.

Preparation and Assembly Time: 12 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

8 slices Seitan Steak, or several pieces homemade seitan or ready made seitan (available in the refrigerated section of most health food markets)
½ sweet onion, thinly sliced
½ cup BBQ Sauce
4 burger buns or submarine sandwich rolls
Vegenaise® Original Spread
1 tomato, sliced
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
Fresh greens
Oil for sautéing

Put in enough oil to coat the bottom of a skillet and heat to medium heat. Sauté the onions until they are translucent and then add the seitan slices.
Add the BBQ sauce, turn up the heat, and continue to cook, stirring the seitan and onions constantly. Cook for a couple of minutes until the seitan is slightly crispy and the onions are caramelized.
Spread a thin layer of Vegenaise® on the inside of each bun or roll. Add the seitan and onions, a little more BBQ sauce (to taste), fresh greens, tomato and avocado, and spinach or alfalfa sprouts.

Makes 4 burgers or sub sandwiches.
