Instructions:

For the Sautéed Kale:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and let cook until soft but not browning.
Bring up the heat to high, add the veggie stock or water, and toss to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove cover and continue to cook, stirring until all the liquid has evaporated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Gluten-free Holiday Leftovers Sandwich:

Toast 2 slices Little Northern Bakehouse gluten-free bread.
Spread a layer of vegan mayo on one slice of bread and top with 1 or 2 slices of Vegan Gluten-free Seitan Holiday Roast, a couple scoops of gluten-free stuffing, fresh or sautéed kale and any other ingredients you’ve got that feel like they belong in your sandwich.
Spread cranberry sauce on the second slice of bread, close it up, and enjoy all the gluten-free holiday goodness you can hold in two hands!

Tips:

Use what you’ve got! If our Plant-based Gluten-free Seitan Holiday Roast wasn’t on your holiday menu this year, use leftovers from other gluten-free plant-based holiday mains instead. Try filling your gluten-free Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich with 1 – 2 slices of lentil loaf topped with a tablespoon of our plant-based gravy!
No leftover gluten-free main to slice for your sandwich? Make it with grilled smoked tofu paired with leftover gluten-free stuffing and roasted brussels sprouts. Or turn leftover sweet potatoes into a plant-based patty that’s the perfect match for the last four maple glazed carrots that were too good to waste.
