Seitan Pizza Subs

Ingredients

• 4 sub rolls
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• marinara sauce
• or Simple Tomato Sauce (page 251)
• 8 ounces pepperoni-style sliced seitan
• 1/2 cup sliced pitted black olives
• 8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and place them open and cut-side up on a baking tray.
2. Lightly toast under the broiler.
3. Spread tomato sauce on both halves of each toasted roll.
4. On the bottom halves, lay seitan slices in an overlapping pattern.
5. Sprinkle the top halves with sliced olives and then cover with cheese.
6. Broil until the cheese is melted and the seitan is hot.
7. Put the halves back together and serve while hot.
8. Sometimes we make these subs with pan-fried slices of portabellas instead of seitan.
9. In place of sub rolls, use a long loaf of French or Italian bread cut into 5-inch lengths.
10. Look for pepperoni-style seitan slices in the refrigerator section near the tofu in natural foods stores and many supermarkets.
11. Serve Broccoli Slaw (page 208) on the side and Chocolate Malts (page 281) for dessert.
