FOR MELODY a flavorful tempeh recipe

[Guest guest]

 I was checking out some recipes and saw this one from a woman who hates

tempeh.  So someone challenged her with this recipe and I just called this

flavorful as she said tempeh tastes like cardboard.  But since it has no flavor

of it's own, it needs to be marinated and this is a spicy fruity marinade that

she said was an exception to her, " I hate tempeh " tatoo. I kept a copy of this

and thought you might like to try it, melody.

FLAVORFUL TEMPEH

Tempeh doesn’t have a flavor of it’s own. You have to marinate it, to allow

it to soak up all the yummy spices. But my point was that it’s the sauce

oozing over the tempeh, giving it a nice moist feeling, like a nice BBQ rib or

something, which made it so…yummy. No, I don’t eat ribs or any animal

anything, but I have in my lifetime so I know what I am talking about. She did

the impossible, she made cardboard taste good, hmmmm, maybe she can tackle the

rest of Real Food Daily’s menu next. I will keep you posted.

Yes, Aria won again and so can you. Just say no to Cardboard and try this

recipe!

Tempeh is a high protein soybean cake that has a meaty texture and absorbs

flavors like a sponge. It is also considered the best way to consume soy

products because it is the least processed of the soy foods making it one of the

most digestible forms.

Recipe by GreenChef Aria Alpert

until most of the marinate has been absorbed and tempeh is golden.

V Blak Notes

Aria’s recipe was the first Tempeh I actually liked and for me it was all

about the sauce. Keep this in mind and save all the extra sauce to use on the

dish after you serve it. Also, the Tempeh will in my opinion soaks up all the

sauce and is not as good the next day. So again, pull out the extra sauce you

saved, heat it up and pour it on the tempeh. This will make everyone happy. The

recipe above makes double the sauce you will need to cover the Tempeh for

baking. Giving you plenty to smoother it in sauce later. MMMMMM

Maybe this lady got Tempeh confused with Tofu/beancurd. Tempeh has a lovely

flavour, albeit not an 'in your face' one. Beancurd is the one that tends to

have very little flavour and the one that people really marinade before they

cook.

Sounds like a yummy recipe and another from Sprout People to file, thanks from

me Carolyn

(Melody thanks for the pattie/ fritter recipe. I love the name pattie so that's

what I shall call them. They're on the menu when my latest pea shoot crop

matures, if he won't eat them I'm sure I will)

It is so easy, I just made another batch (one for tonight and the rest for

tomorrow) And imagine making onion rings that are NOT onion rings.

Just cut up an onion, throw the whole thing in the batter, cook them in the pan

and you have ONION PATTIES!!!

lol
