Will’s Barbecued Tempeh Steaks
Will’s Barbecued Tempeh Steaks
We have discovered that, for us, an important aid to maintaining the vegan lifestyle is to have a variety of textures as well as flavors from day to day, and occasionally something a bit more toothsome is appreciated. But there are several things we try to be very careful about in creating this variety. Chief among them are: * Never add sugar to compensate for less fat * Always allow a vegan dish to stand on its own, and do not try to imitate meat in any way These tempeh “steaks” have a solid, chewy texture, but they taste like barbequed tempeh and do not try to imitate beef or chicken. The result is a vegan meal that works in its own way, has a dramatic nutty texture, and is something you can sink your (admittedly herbivore) teeth into. We complimented the tempeh steaks with a raw corn salad, and enjoyed it outdoors in the gazebo with a nice red table wine. A great outdoor meal for the start of summer! ~ Will & Glyn
