Seitan A La Normandie – We Love God!

Peacemaking suggestions when seeking conflict resolution with another: Pray before, during and after the time together (1 Thes. 5:17). Get together and talk about the matter face-to-face (i.e. not an email). Be sure to go to the individual in a loving and reasonable and gentle manner (1 Cor. 4:21; Eph. 4:2; 1 Tim. 6:11). Make sure your heart is right. Make sure you have removed the log from your own eye before you seek to remove the speck from your brother’s (Mt. 7:3-5). Go seeking to believe the best, hear the other side of the story (Pr. 18:17). Attack the problem not the person, value the relationship more than the issue. Deal with one problem at a time. Find common ground – I hope as Christians you both want God’s glory and unity – start there (1 Cor. 10:31)! Add how you may have contributed to the problem – people will always listen to how you might have wronged them (Pr. 28:13). Be prepared to extend and receive forgiveness if appropriate (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13). Seek to fully reconcile the relationship and put the matter behind you. Remember, there is a big difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: This recipe needs uncooked seitan.  Cut the seitan into four
thin pieces (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), each about 2 ounces. The thinner
the better.  Fry the seitan in a (little?) hot oil until lightly
browned and then simmer it in a little water for about 30 minutes
before using. If you don't simmer it first, you may need to add more
liquid to the recipe.  Saute the onions and garlic in the oil until the
onions are soft and  translucent but not fully cooked.  Place the
seitan in an ovenproof baking dish and cover it with tamari,  apple
juice concentrate, and water. Cover with the sauteed onion  mixture and
sprinkle the ground pecans over it, if you wish. Fan the  apples over
the onions and pour the mirin on top.  Cover the dish  with a
tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil, and bake at 300 degrees F  for 2
hours. Serve hot.  Source: Friendly Foods - by Brother Ron Pickarski,
