Quick Tempeh casserole - Mon 2nd May 2011
Defrost tempeh and cut into cubes.
Slice an onion and sauté in a tablespoon of oil until tranparent.
Add the tempeh and some thyme, or herbes de Provence.
Cover and sauté for a few minutes.
Add a cup of warm green tea, preferably with the leaves (choose good quality green tea and it will not turn bitter). This will be the base for the stock/gravy. Add a pinch of salt, or tamari soy sauce if you prefer.
It is possible to make a gravy by diluting one teaspoon of arrowroot powder or kuzu starch into a bit of cold water, and then pouring it into the casserole. Stir, cover and let it simmer for a few more minutes. It is now ready to serve!
Delicious with roasted parsnip, roasted turnip and greens, and very quick to make.

Very tasty and high-quality tempeh. I use it when I want a change from tofu, so it's great for stir-frys, warm salads & vegetable hotpots.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the super high quality of this tempeh. It made me feel like I had never really eaten tempeh before!!

The taste is superior to any tempeh I have used so far, and the texture is just so lovely!

Highly recommended.
