Tempeh Paprikash Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the tempeh into chicken nugget-sized pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Add the cornstarch, paprika, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice wine, and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix until incorporated. Cover and chill in fridge for 1 hour minimum.
• Add oil to a pan on medium-high heat and pan-fry tempeh until browned on both sides. Remove from pan.
• In the same pan, add in oil and sesame oil on medium-high heat.
• Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, and cook until golden brown and aromatic, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomato paste and vegetable broth, and stir until incorporated.
• Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey, and stir until all are incorporated.
• Add the cornstarch slurry (mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl until paste forms) into sauce mixture and stir until sauce thickens.
• Return the tempeh to the pan and allow to incorporate with the sauce. Top with sesame seeds (optional).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the marinade ingredients with plenty of black pepper and 2 tbsp water in a bowl, then stir in the tempeh to coat it. Set aside for 15 mins to marinate.
• Pile the vegetables onto a large baking tray and toss with the oil and oregano. Bake for 10 mins, then add the tempeh along with any remaining marinade, and bake for 30 mins more until the veg is tender. Leave to cool a little, then squeeze over the lemon juice to taste (start with a quarter) and scatter over the fresh thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In large saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a simmer. Turn off heat; cover to keep warm.
• In medium bowl, combine oil, vinegar, cider, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon garlic. Add diced tempeh and toss to coat.
• In large, shallow baking dish, place tempeh with liquid in single layer. Bake, uncovered, until all liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Check often, making sure cooking liquid does not burn.
• Meanwhile, in large Dutch oven, combine onions, 1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika, caraway, thyme and pepper and 1/4 cup hot broth. Cover and cook over medium heat until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir well. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, 10 minutes.
• In small bowl, dissolve cornstarch completely in cold water and add to hot broth. Stir with whisk, increase heat slightly and return mixture to a simmer. Cook, whisking, until broth thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Add broth to pan with onions and stir until mixture is well blended. Remove tempeh from oven and add to pan, along with remaining cooking liquid; stir well.
• Cover pan and bake, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes. Serve hot.
