Seitan & Green Beans

A quick post for a quick meal. I adapted an old and very simple family recipe into a vegan form and it's luckfully still quite simple and tasty. It's basically just green beans and seitan in a simple sauce, and the recipe is as follows:

1 medium onion
2 tbsp oil
1/2 tbsp Pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
~2 cups of green beans (You can wing this part and the seitan part to whatever is good for you)
1 medium to large seitan steak, cubed

Brown Rice

Slice the onions into rings and throw in into a deeper pan with the oil, pepper, and salt. Fry until the onions are translucent and then pour in the broth and bring it to a boil. Mix the arrowroot powder with a bit of water(if you put it straight in the broth it'll gel almost instantly and fail to thicken the mixture) and pour it into the broth. Add in the beans and seitan at this point, cooking them while the broth thickens. It's ready when the beans are tender and the seitan is heated through. Enjoy over some brown rice while still hot.
