Vegetarian Swiss Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion
1/2 cup white wine or 1/2 cup 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
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

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.
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.
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.
