How to Make Seitan Piccata With Olives And Green Beans

  1. Prepare seitan cutlets using your favorite recipe (or the simple seitan cutlets recipe from the Veganomicon).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add seitan cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
  4. Remove seitan from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  6. Add 1/4 cup capers, 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), and 1/2 cup chopped green beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until green beans are tender-crisp.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
  8. Gradually whisk in 1 cup vegetable broth and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  9. Add 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor (optional).
  10. Return seitan cutlets to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the seitan.
  11. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes.
