BBQ Tempeh Sandwich (makes 4 large sandwiches)
- 1 package of tempeh
- Your favorite bread (I used freshly baked multi grain bread, that I made that morning)
- Lettuce
- Cream Cheese or Toffuti cream cheese to veganise it.
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cucumber
- Your favorite BBQ sauce (I had smoked BBQ from calve)
- Mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise
- Appel cider vinegar
- Sunflower oil
Slice the tempeh. Heat some oil in the pan and bake them for 1 minute on each side. Then put on a good deal of BBQ sauce and coat the tempeh with it. Turn the heat lower and let it simmer for a few minutes. Let the tempeh cool down a bit.
Meanwhile slice the tomatoes and cucumber, wash the lettuce and sprinkle some apple vinegar on there. Slather cream cheese on one side of the sandwich. Toss a heap of lettuce on top together with tomatoes and cucumber. Place some slices of tempeh on there. Slather the other side of the sandwich with some mayonnaise and you have build yourself a nice filling sandwich!
Most people would eat this for lunch but I made this for dinner on a Sunday evening. It was so filling that I had enough after only one sandwich.

It's new to me, tempeh on a sandwich. But, why not, looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteYour sandwich looks very wholesome, tasty and filling :) I've not yet tried marinating the way you have, so that's a to-do for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds really good. Tempeh is such a great ingredient to work with. I can't eat much soy anymore but I used to cook with this often. I need to pass this recipe along to my niece. It looks easy enough for her (a teen) to make herself.
ReplyDeleteI've never had Tempeh and it looks delicious in the sandwich. I'll have to look for it and give it a try. We like to try new things.
ReplyDeleteTempeh is new to me too. You have me curious, however. Your sandwich sounds good.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is tempeh? I'm not familiar with it, but your sandwich looks delicious!
ReplyDelete@Annie: Tempeh is a soy product that you can buy in organic stores. It is often used as a meat replacement.
ReplyDeleteI could tempeh every day! This looks delish :) I'll prbably eat it sometime as a variation on tempeh bacon!
ReplyDeleteI have not been inspired to try this before your post. Will have to get some. Thanks for the nudge.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea what tempeh was. This sandwich does however look delicious!
