Tempeh recipes

Tempeh is another popular plant-based protein that has a unique nutty flavor and firm texture. Here are a few tempeh recipes to try:

1. Tempeh Tacos: Crumble or slice tempeh and sauté it with onions, garlic, and taco seasoning. Serve the seasoned tempeh in taco shells or tortillas with your choice of toppings like salsa, guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes.

2. Tempeh Stir-Fry: Cut tempeh into thin strips and stir-fry with a medley of colorful vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Add your favorite stir-fry sauce and spices for flavor. Serve over rice or noodles.

3. Grilled Tempeh Sandwich: Marinate thick slices of tempeh in a mixture of soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke, and garlic powder. Grill or pan-fry until golden and crispy. Build a sandwich with your favorite bread, toppings like lettuce, tomato, and avocado, and condiments such as vegan mayo or mustard.

4. BBQ Tempeh Skewers: Cut tempeh into cubes and marinate in a tangy barbecue sauce. Skewer the tempeh cubes with vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Grill or bake until the tempeh is lightly charred and the vegetables are tender.

5. Tempeh Curry: Sauté cubed tempeh with onions, garlic, and your choice of curry paste or powder. Add coconut milk, vegetables (such as cauliflower, peas, or zucchini), and simmer until the flavors meld together. Serve with steamed rice or naan bread.
