Indonesian Rendang (Seitan in sauce)

Directions
- Instead of using beef here, we've gone with seitan. This preparation keeps it quite moist and tender. To begin, finely chop your shallots, garlic, lime zest, and ginger.
- Then grind your whole cumin and coriander together in the mortar and toss the whole mixture into a large pan, along with some oil.
- While that's sauteing, grind your peanuts in the mortar, and once the shallots and such are browned, add to the pan, along with the seitan.
- Give this a couple of minutes to incorporate, then add coconut milk to cover, along with the ground cumin.
- Let this simmer for half an hour or so, until the coconut milk is mostly gone and you have a thick, rich sauce coating the seitan.
