Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chopped red onion

6 cloves garlic -- minced

1 rib celery -- sliced

2 1/2 cups sliced carrots

8 ounces seasoned tempeh -- cubed

3 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms -- sliced

3 tablespoons whole wheat flour

1 1/3 cups beef-flavored vegetable broth -- hot

1/4 cup white wine

2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

1 cup frozen peas -- thawed

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

 

Heat olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the next 3

ingredients; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add the carrots, and cook 3 minutes. Add

the tempeh, and saute 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and continue to cook 3 minutes.

Sprinkle with flour; stir to coat. Pour hot broth over the mixture, and stir

until thickened. Stir in wine and remaining ingredients. Simmer 10 minutes or

until ready to serve.

Seasoned Tempeh

Some cooks like to steam tempeh before use, but I've found that seasoning tempeh

before usiing it in a recipe enhances the flavor and texture. This recipe will

provide enough tempeh for use in 2 to 4 recipes. It will keep for up to a week

in the refrigerator.

8 servings

2 8 oz pkgs soy tempeh

3 1/2 cups water

2 tablespoons tamari

1 piece of kombu, cut in two

Divide each 8-ounce block of tempeh into 2 or 4 pieces. Place in a medium

saucepan with remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer

about 30 to 45 minutes or until tempeh is fragrant and liquid is almost

absorbed. As it simmers, gently rotate tempeh from time to timme so it's

equally submerged. Cool slightly. Cover, and refrigerate. Seasoned Tempeh can

be used with any tempeh recipe.
