Panko-Crusted Italian Sausage Seitan Cutlets

Man, you guys, Vegan Diner. Every single thing I've made from this book far exceeds my expectations.

I kind of couldn't believe how good these seitan cutlets were. The dough is seasoned with oregano and fennel to make it sausagey - you would be shocked at how easily the addition of a little fennel seed turns weird vegan meat substitutes into sausage. I made the tomato sauce and seitan last night - mixed up the dough, formed it into patties, and steamed it for about 45 minutes - so tonight all I had to do was bread and fry them and cook the pasta. This was very, very much like chicken-fried steak, which to this Missourian equals AWESOME.
