Units
Scale
- 1 lb of Tempeh
- 1 medium Yellow Onion
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 3 cloves of Garlic
- 1, 8oz can of Tomato Sauce
- 1/4 cup of Tomato Paste
- 1–2 tbsp Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp Dijon Musard
- Up to 1 cup of Water
Instructions
- First prepare all of your ingredients so they’re ready as you need them. Dice the onion, green bell pepper and the garlic.
- Lay out the rest of the ingredients so they will be ready to go.
- Sauté the onion and the green pepper until the onion is just turning translucent. Do not cook completely as these will remain in the skillet for another several minutes.
- Add in the garlic and sauté for another 1 minute.
- Place the tempeh in the skillet and cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Sprinkle in the seasonings (chili powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and sugar) and stir until everything is well coated.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients (tomato sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, tamari, dijon mustard).
- Cook for 5-10 minutes stirring a few times, until the sauce has thickened to desired consistency. You can add in water if you need, up to 1 cup.
- Let cool and serve how you’d like. Can be made into a sandwich, served with mashed potatoes (yum!), made into sliders for an appetizer, or eaten by itself!
