METHOD
To make the marinade:
Blend all ingredients to a fairly smooth, think puree. Reserve or regrigerate for up to a week.

To make the seitan:
Pour half the marinade in a shallow pan and add the seitan, making sure that the seitan is coated thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour at room temperature (if you must keep it longer, put it in the refrigerator.

To grill the seitan, brush a bit of oil over a very hot grill just before you put the seitan on. Grill for 2 minutes each side. Brush with marinade after turning. To broil, place the seitan on a lightly oiled baking pan and broil until the top starts to brown. Do not turn it: this will keep it from drying out.

To serve:
Heat the remaining marinade. Place the seitan over a portion of the Coconut Mashed Yams and serve with the heated marinade, salsa, and greens.

Red Onion Marmalade

Combine everything into a large skillet, cover and cook on med-high heat 10 minutes. Remove the cover and cook until all liquid evaporates, stirring to prevent scorching. Once the liquid evaporates, turn heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring often, until mixture is caramelized, 15-20 minutes. Let cool to room temp before serving.

Marinated Seitan Medallions

For seitan:
Combine flours, stir in water and knead until springy. Bring 4-6 cups water to a boil. Divide the dough into 3 portions and shape into cylindrical loaf. Roll up in cheesecloth, not too tightly, and tie the ends with string. Cook seitan for 1 1/2 hours in simmering water with lid slightly ajar, until seitan is very firm. Drain seitan rolls and unwrap whencool enough to handle.

To marinate:
Slice the seitan into 1/4 inch / 7 mm thick medallions. Combine all marinade ingredients and bring to a boil. Add the seitan medallions and simmer covered for 40 minutes. Store in marinade until ready to use.

Coconut Mashed Yams

Slice the yams into 2 inch / 5 cm cubes and store them in cold water until ready to cook. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil, add the yams, and boil covered for 15 minutes or until soft and easily crushed with a fork. Drain well. In a small saute pan over medium heat, heat the oil and add the garlic and thyme. Saute for 1 minute, or until the garlic is golden. Remove to a large mixing bowl. Add the drained yams, nutmeg, sea salt, and 1/4 c. of the coconut milk. Mash with potato masher or large whisk until the mixture is smooth. If the mash is overly stiff or lumpy, add the rest of the coconut milk.


NOTES
