Vegetarian Swiss Steak

From the PCRM website, from Eat Right, Live Longer by Neal D. Barnard, M.D.; recipe by Jennifer Raymond. The note says to serve over noodles with a side salad. I have to say that I have no idea what Swiss Steak is or how it tastes, but this was yummy. It's also low fat, healthy and vegan. Pretty easy to make as well.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 4

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  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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. 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.
3. 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.
