Upton’s Naturals Sausage and Spinach

I love being able to make vegan versions of classic foods that I’ve grown up with. With the help of Upton’s Naturals Italian Seitan, I recreated and tweaked my Dad’s sausage and spinach recipe.

Usually he would serve this mixture in a hard roll, but I preferred to make it a bit healthier and place it upon a bed of brown rice with peas.

Upton’s Italian Seitan is pre-seasoned and pre-cooked, so essentially you just need to warm it up. It is cholesterol, oil and GMO-free and available in several other flavors.
