For 3-4 servings:
For the seitan:
1 kg flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
When you make the seitan dough add the paprika powder, the onion powder and the garlic powder. Than follow the seitan recipe.
For the marinade:
a small onion

After the seitan was “washed” allow to drain well. Cook for 30-40 minutes in water with a few peppercorns and a bay leaf. Drain well then cut into square pieces approx. 3 cm thick. Mix with the marinade. Refrigerate at least an hour.
Thread the seitan onto the skewers. Heat the grill pan. Grill for few minutes on each side.
