Yum Yum Tempeh Patties
I made these for dinner tonight and it was all worth the wait. These patties were fantastic! I loved the combination of the herbs and Braggs, as well as the texture of the tempeh. I typically use
Henry's Tempeh (old family friend of my partner's) and for this recipe, i used his basil option.
I should have read the instructions better because between steaming, mixing, refridgerating, and frying, it all took a bit too long, and i like to eat dinner before Ugly Betty is on. At first i was like, 'what, STEAM tempeh - that's sacriligious' but then it all made sense when i needed to mash it up. I also don't have fennel in the house, but i used tarragon as a substitute. It may have been a bit too salty and i could have let the patty saturate better (they were a bit too fragile) but i loved these and will definitely make them again.
We had a side of sweet potato fries (baked) and a green leafy salad to go with it. Yum. Good thing i followed the recipe and made 10 (ten!!) patties - i'll be eating tempeh patties all weekend and already made a scrumptious sandwich for tomorrow's lunch. If you don't need so many, just half the recipe and and use 1 block of tempeh.
I am unsure why they're called 'sausages' and not just patties...i can't help but picture Oktoberfest sausages when i refer to this recipe - and i know that's wrong on so many levels!

Breakfast for dinner
I had this block of tempeh in the freezer for a couple of months, and I was glad to have a recipe to use it up! I used an italian herb mix for all the green herbs in the recipe, and white flour instead of whole wheat. Also, inspired by Carla's post, a few shakes of liquid smoke.
soy red pepper tempeh
mixy mushiness
patties - I added some diced onion instead of onion powder. Somehow I missed the part of letting them refrigerate for an hour. No matter - they still worked!
We ate them with some tofu scramble. Mmm... breakfast for dinner!
I liked these a lot. They reminded me of Gimme Lean sausages, which I heard is not going to be sold in Canada anymore. I may just have to stock up on tempeh!

Hi gang! I made the
Italian Tempeh Sausages recipe, with a few modifications. I steamed some tempeh:
Crumbled it and added some of the spices the recipe called for. I didn't have all of them to make the "Italian" flavour strong enough, so I sprinkled some liqiud hickory smoke:
Packed the mixture into my heart-shaped moulds. Baked them a bit, then pan fried them:
Put 2 patties in my lunch box with some mashed potatoes-peas-pesto:

Italian Tempeh Sausage
Italian tempeh sausage anyone?
There is a recipe in
Vegan with a Vengeance which I hear is great, and I found
this one on the internet. The recipes sound so versatile and can be made for breakfast or for dinner, with gravy, another saucy topping or without. I'm not as well versed in tempeh as others seem to be, and I've been wanting to try this for a while so I thought I'd throw it in as this week's suggestion!
