Vegetarian Swiss Steak
(Serves 8)

Seitan is made from wheat and has a taste and texture hearty enough to satisfy any meat eater. Serve this dish over pasta or rice with a crisp green salad.

1 large onion
1/2 cup white wine or water
3 cups sliced mushrooms
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 8 large cloves)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or 2 teaspoons dried
1/4 cup light miso dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces seitan, cut into thick slices

Cut the onion in half, then into thin slices. Heat the wine or water in a large skillet or pot and braise the onion until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic, and basil. Continue cooking over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, then stir in the dissolved miso, tomatoes, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spread 1/2 cup of sauce evenly in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Arrange the seitan slices in the dish, then cover with the rest of the sauce. Cover the dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
