_______
Potato starch,
Soy sauce,
Garlic granules,
Vegetable broth
Is how the whole thing begins.
Then add
Dollops of tahini.
Nut-like taste.
Easy to remember.
Then add
To pool of olive oil
Minced garlic
And seitan strips,
The primary element.
Then add
Secondary element,
Chopped criminis.
These will make
The mixture sing.
Then add
Golden brown gravy,
Blended from the first 5 elements.
Complete the homemade spell
For the evening's magic to come
By sprinkling dashes of
Oregano, basil and black pepper.
Then stir over medium-high heat.
Then simmer over low heat.
Soon to emerge
From hot black
Iron skillet over steaming
Bow tie pasta
As Italianate take
On something Russian.
Creamy, succulent, mouth-watering
Plant-based wizardry
Seitan-mushroom
Delight.

Yum. Delightful poem. Love the line: "These will make
The mixture sing."
