Barbecued Tempeh - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb tempeh, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons tamari or 3 tablespoons other soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Preparation
-
Place the tempeh in a medium-sized saucepan with water to cover, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the tempeh and pat dry. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the tempeh and cook, turning, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the onion, garlic and ginger to the skillet, cover and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, molasses, mustard, tamari, vinegar and cayenne and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, to thicken the sauce slightly and develop the flavors, about 15 minutes.
Return the tempeh to the sauce and cook for 10 minutes longer, then serve.
