What’s tempeh?

Tempeh is a fermented soy bound together by mycelium compacted into cakes. Tempeh originated in Indonesia a few hundred years ago. It has a higher concentration of protein and fiber than tofu. Tempeh is also a good source of iron, manganese, magnesium and certain B-vitamins. Tempeh is available at most grocery stores in 8 ounce packages.

These Fast and Easy BBQ Tempeh has 2 key ingredients:

1. Tempeh
2. The Best Homemade BBQ Sauce

Using The Best Homemade BBQ Sauce as the base, it’s also not loaded with things like high fructose corn syrup… or sodium benzoate. That’s right, sodium benzoate is a food additive used to extend shelf life. It’s banned in countries outside of the United States. Some side effects may include weight gain, inflammation, ADHD, headache, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and mood changes. Yikes!

Okay, back to this recipe.

To prepare the BBQ tempeh, slice tempeh in to strips of desired thickness and length. Here, I’ve sliced the tempeh cake into quarters and cut them the down the middle into thinner strips.

This recipe uses about a cup of The Best Homemade BBQ Sauce. Generously coat the sliced tempeh and let it sit or marinade for about 10 minutes to absorb some of the flavors from the sauce.

While the tempeh is marinating, preheat your grill, grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated tempeh onto the hot grill. Let it hang out for about 4 to 5 minutes and then turn and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from grill, add some more sauce. This recipe makes between 2 to 4 servings depending on how you use the BBQ tempeh. Below are a few ideas. . .

BBQ Tempeh Tacos

Enjoy tacos with sprouted corn tortillas, the saucy tempeh topped with shredded cabbage, fresh cilantro and Ultimate Cashew Cream sauce or Cilantro Lime Ranch Dressing (LOW-FAT).

BBQ Tempeh Salad

Make a salad topped with sliced avocado for lunch or light dinner.

Overall, tempeh is a great staple in the rotation because it’s versatile, fast and easy to prepare and very satisfying.
