Method

1. Bring a pot of water to the boil. Meanwhile wash the chard, remove any damaged parts and cut the stalks into pieces of about 2 cm and the leaves into strips.
2. Salt the water and boil the chard for 4 minutes, until the stalks are tender; drain, let it cool for a moment and squeeze it well.
3. Heat half the oil in a pan over medium heat with the crushed garlic and chilli for a minute, until the garlic is golden; add the chard and the drained cooked lentils and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring, until hot and full of flavour. Season with salt.
4. Meanwhile cut the seitan into slices about 1 cm thick. Heat a griddle or ridged pan well over high heat, brush the seitan with the remaining oil and cook for 2 minutes per side, until golden-striped.
5. Serve the seitan on top of the chard and lentils with a squeeze of lemon juice.
