Argentinian vegan milanesas
Plus 30 minutes of rest
Milanesas are a very popular dish from Argentina, where since 2012 they have even had their own day on the calendar: 3 May. That makes it the perfect day to introduce and promote vegan milanesas which, being made exclusively with plant-based ingredients, have a delicate flavour, are cholesterol-free, sustainable and kind to the planet and, above all, to animals.
These vegan milanesas are very tender cutlets, especially if, as here, you use a fluffy seitan, which also soaks up the flavour of the seasonings beautifully thanks to its very mild taste: it is very neutral and lets the seasonings you add penetrate perfectly. This makes them really tasty, with the delicate blend of garlic and parsley in the breading standing out and adding an irresistible toasty, savoury and crunchy touch.
Nutritionally, these vegan milanesas are rich in protein, fibre, lecithin, inulin, alliin, flavonoids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, vitamins A, C and B6; calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium and selenium.

- Step 1We cut the seitan into fillets 1 cm thick. We set them aside.
- Step 2Peel the garlic cloves, chop them and put them in a bowl together with the Yolanda flour, the water, the salt, the pepper and the finely chopped parsley and stir everything until obtaining a homogeneous mixture without lumps.
- Step 3Put the seitan fillets in the bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes so that it takes in the flavor.
- Step 4After this time, put the breadcrumbs on a plate and pass the fillets through the bread, tapping the fillets so that the bread adheres well and they are well breaded.
- Step 5Heat the oil in a large frying pan and, when it is hot (without smoking), add the fillets in batches so that they are covered in the oil and fry well. When they are browned on one side, turn them over so that they brown on the other side and, when they are browned on both sides, put them on a plate covered with absorbent paper to remove excess oil. When they have released all the excess oil, serve them.
