Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was wondering if anyone here had any experience in cooking tempeh? I bought some and it's sitting in my cheese drawer eyeing me and daring me to cook it LOL. I have to admit I am a bit nervous since I have no idea what to do with it. I remember cooking it once a few years ago with disasterous results. Any suggestions? Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi Heather- I am a big tempeh fan but my recipe is always super simple. It might not even taste good to people. I just chop it into little pieces and saute it in olive oil. My friend Zeke the food guru has recommend marinating it in balsamic or something like that but I've never tried. I'll be interested to hear what you discover! Tina On Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 9:24 AM, Heather Butler <hawaiihmb wrote: > I was wondering if anyone here had any experience in cooking tempeh?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I brown it in olive oil and mix it with veggies. kathleen On Sep 25, 2008, at 7:24 AM, Heather Butler wrote: > I was wondering if anyone here had any experience in cooking > tempeh?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Oh I am laughing, both you and Tina say such simple techniques! I was going to get WAY to fancy, dusting it in chickpea flour and Indian spices and frying it in coconut oil. No wonder I was scared to try it. Simple first...

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi Heather, I like tempeh reubens- heat it up somehow (fry or Foreman grill) and put it on toasted whole grain bread with sauerkraut, mayo, cheese and tomato paste (or ketchup if you eat that). I also add grilled onions. JoEllen , Heather Butler <hawaiihmb wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone here had any experience in cooking tempeh?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Mmmmm, I love tempeh. I do fairly simple things like Tina & Kathleen. I like to steam it for about 20 minutes to plump it up; makes it more amenable to marinades and spices, I think. Once steamed: sometimes I crumble it into tomato sauce for a mock meat sauce. Or cube it and put in Thai-style coconut curry. Or slice/cube it, marinate in a soy-ginger-sesame sauce, then broil/bake it. Or slather it with some sauce I like (hot sauce, tahini-lemon sauce, even tomato paste) and stick it in a sandwich. Or saute it in oil with garlic. I'm drooling now. And I want JoEllen's reuben!
