Italian Mushroom & Seitan Bowl

This was a very flavorful bowl of food. It is not a saucy dish, which is the type of bowls I normally like, but it had wonderful flavor. You could add a splash of olive oil when you serve it or even add some vegetable broth to the dish before serving. We enjoyed it with a small side salad.
