Seitaninhos com cogumelos (Seitan mini steaks with white mushroom sauce)

This title is far too long but is early in the morning and I can’t think of any other name, but it is what it says in the tin, seitan min steaks with mushroom white sauce 🙂 My mum used to cook this but without cream, but typically in Portugal this dish requires the white sauce. It is delicious and easy to make. Goes well with rice and some salad or greens, but whatever you fancy… potatoes, chips, pasta, your choice!

Time: 15min (+ seitan cooking time if you’re making it- please check my recipe in ‘other delicious bits’)
