Buffalo Tempeh Sliders - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 (8 ounce) packages tempeh, cut into 2-inch strips
2 (12 fluid ounce) bottles Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's(R) RedHot)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup crumbled blue cheese, or more to taste
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 large green bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced, or more to taste
1/4 red onion, diced
1 (5.3 ounce) container Greek yogurt, or as needed
18 pita pockets, or more to taste

Preparation

Place tempeh in a large bowl and cover with Buffalo sauce. Set aside to marinate, 10 to 20 minutes.
Remove tempeh from Buffalo sauce, reserving sauce. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tempeh in a single layer, in batches, until heated through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Pour some Buffalo sauce back over tempeh to coat.
Combine blue cheese, cilantro, green bell pepper, celery, and onion in a large bowl. Mix in enough Greek yogurt until topping just holds together.
Divide tempeh pieces among pita pockets; top with a spoonful of the topping. Top with remaining Buffalo sauce.
