Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ red onion thinly sliced

- Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two.
- Add the seitan, oregano, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook for about 10 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the seitan browns and the edges begin to crisp. Remove from heat.
