I made seitan (seasoned with a bit of pulverized porcini mushrooms) because I wanted *something* to go with smashed red potatoes with chives, olive oil, and cashew cream. This also required a simple vegetable – braised kale – and a sauce – a puree of shallots, green garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, vegetable broth, red wine, and nooch. Yum.
