Crumbled Tempeh Skillet Recipe
Capitalizing on John's suggestion for crumbled tempeh we thought we would post one of our favorite crumbled tempeh recipes. This one incorporates the texture and flavor of the tempeh with caramelized onion, some light seasoning and veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (8 oz.) of regular (not flavored) tempeh
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
- 1 large clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 small to medium sweet onion, sliced thin
- 2 celery stalks, sliced thin
- 1 small bunch (1/2 pound) fresh asparagus
- 1 small to medium Granny Smith apple
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- Since caramelizing the onion should be done fairly slowly, you
- may want to consider doing this the day before you intend to use
- it. It will keep nicely overnight in an air-tight container
- in the refrigerator.
- Prep day - Prepare the following ingredients and set aside:
- Asparagus - Clean and "break" the asparagus and add it to a shallow
- pan of boiling water for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove it from the
- heat promptly after blanching it so it stays crisp-tender. Slice it into 1 inch pieces.
- Celery - Slice the celery thinly, on the bias.
- Garlic - Peel and mince the garlic.
- Apple - Peel and chop the apple into 1/4 inch pieces.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, crumble the tempeh into the skillet using your hands. The tempeh will crumble easily and separate into a loose mixture.
- Allow the tempeh to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the garlic and stir. After another minute add the onions and stir well to mix. Allow the mixture to cook another
- 3 or 4 minutes to heat the onions.
- Add the asparagus, stir and finally add the apple and mix gently.
- Add the soy sauce or Braggs and stir to mix.
