Rosemary Lemon & Garlic Seitan and Brown Rice

Submitted by Dr. Maiysha Claibor

"Another Dr. Life original, this recipe is a great example of how to combine great spices to get a flavorful meal without having to use a lot of salt. Seitan is a good source of protein, however it is a gluten based product so if you are a sufferer of Celiac, you will need to use a different (and gluten free) protein substitute!"
