BBQ Pulled "Pork" Sandwiches

When you don't eat beef or pork, you miss out on a Texas staple: BBQ.  Thankfully there are recipes like this one that allow people like me to enjoy delicious, southern-style BBQ without hurting any cows or pigs.  These sandwiches are similar to the Carolina-Style BBQ Sandwiches I made a while back, but the sauce is sweeter and less tangy.  I served mine with Baked Lays and topped with the same coleslaw I made for the other BBQ sandwiches.  Makes six servings.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. Light Olive Oil
• 1 Medium Onion, Chopped
• 12 Garlic Cloves, Minced
• 1 Can Tomato Sauce (15 oz.)
• 1 Tbsp. Horseradish
• 2 Tsp. Molasses
• 2 Tsp. Cider Vinegar
• 2 Tsp. Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Tsp. Lemon Zest
• 1/2 Cup Water
• 16 Oz. Seitan, Sliced Thin or Shredded
• 6 Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns

Directions:

• Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.
• Add onion and cook for seven minutes or until tender.
• Add garlic and cook for one minute or until fragrant.
• Add tomato sauce and stir to combine; cook for three minutes.
• Add horseradish, molasses, vinegar, brown sugar, lemon zest, and water; stir to combine.
• Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally; sauce will thicken.
• Fold in seitan and cook for two minutes to heat thoroughly.
• Serve on bun; top with coleslaw and hot sauce if desired.
