Seitan Pepper Steak – We Love God!

The truly loving child of God, though he knows sin is there, hates that sin; it is a pain and misery to him, and he never makes the corruption of his heart as an excuse for the corruption of his life; he never pleads the evil of his nature, as an apology for the evil of his conduct. If any man can, in the least degree, clear himself from the conviction of his own conscience, on account of his daily failings, by pleading the evil of his heart, he is not one of the broken-hearted children of God; he is not one of the tried servants of the Lord, for they groan concerning sin, and carry it to God’s throne; they know it is in them – they do not, therefore, leave it, but seek with all their minds to keep it down, In order that it may not rise and carry them away.

INSTRUCTIONS

If you are using the shiite mushrooms, place them in a bowl and cover
them with hot water. Soak until soft (about 30 minutes). Then place
the soaked mushrooms in a pot with 2 cups of water (use the soaking
liquid) and 3 tablespoons tamari. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes,
and set aside.  Saute' the seitan, mushrooms, onions, and red bell
peppers in the oil  (I guess that would be water here...MC) along with
the garlic and  basil. When the vegetables are tender (half cooked),
add the green  bell peppers, sherry, and 1.75 cups water.  Mix the miso
and 1/4 cup water, along with the tomato paste and the  tablespoon of
tamari, if you wish. Add to the saute'ed vegetables.  Add the dissolved
arrowroot and continue to simmer, while sirring  constantly, until the
sauce has thickened. Serve the seitan pepper  steak with noodles, rice,
or mashed potatoes.  From: mcarpent@sescva.esc.edu (MARK CARPENTER).
