Method

1. Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and boil them in salted water for 8-10 minutes until tender.
2. Cut the seitan into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
3. Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and sear the seitan for 3-4 minutes until slightly golden.
4. Pour in the tomato passata, add the rinsed capers, and season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Simmer the sauce for 5-6 minutes until thickened, then add the drained green beans to the pan to coat them in the sauce.
6. Toast the wholegrain bread slices until crispy.
7. Plate the seitan and green beans, drizzling with the remaining raw olive oil.
8. Serve the dish hot with the toasted bread to mop up the flavorful tomato sauce.

Tips

• Rinse the capers thoroughly under running water to remove excess salt before adding them to the sauce.
• The seitan can be prepared a day in advance; its texture stays firm and even improves after reheating.
