Seitan is the extracted and flavored gluten from whole wheat. I have found that the shredded and dried form of it (which I buy from the Mail Order Catalog in TN--Please note that I have nothing to do with the ownership or running of the Catalog) keeps well and makes a great substitute for ground beef. I ate it once in chili con carne and could hardly tell the difference. Seitan itself does not have much flavor, so the things you combine with it are important. This book contains excellent suggestions for using seitan to make stuffed "roasts," "cutlets," and many other dishes.
