It did take a while for me to come around to tempeh but I'm totally converted now and have been finding all sorts of ways to use it recently. I'm a fan of tempeh meatballs and also love a Thai style tempeh salad but haven't used it in a shepherds pie before - thanks for that tip!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-55974885155831585632014-01-08T16:48:30.993+11:002014-01-08T16:48:30.993+11:00Hi there!

I originally had to ease into it myself, but since I've got the hang of it I haven't even thought about tofu for savory dishes. The first recipe that really got me hooked was this Tempeh Mock-Chicken Salad recipe. http://www.heartyvegan.com/mock-chicken-salad. Since then I have made everything from Tempeh meatballs to Tempeh shepherds pie. <br /><br />Don't give up on it! :D Beckyhttp://www.heartyvegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-44550540872173616162011-09-01T19:51:10.889+10:002011-09-01T19:51:10.889+10:00Thanks again Cadry.

I think I will even try to get the tempeh slices twice as thin as you are describing as I'm sure that is how I have prepared it in the past and not liked it. The packets in Australia could be chunkier than yours as well. I love Viva Vegan so much and cook something out of it almost every week!<br /><br />Thanks Nachos. I really didn't want to give up on tempeh but there were times I seriously wondered why I was persevering. I think grated tempeh could be the way to go for newbies.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-40361548916985743312011-09-01T16:16:08.991+10:002011-09-01T16:16:08.991+10:00Nice work!

That's what I do too. First I cut the tempeh block in half, then into four triangles. Then I turn the triangles on their sides and slice them down their center, so that they're twice as skinny. (Does that make sense? It's hard to describe...) <br /><br />Isn't Viva Vegan awesome? I've been cooking out of it regularly for over a year, but I'm still finding new favorites all the time.Cadryhttp://www.cadryskitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-34918136215201370972011-08-31T21:00:05.090+10:002011-08-31T21:00:05.090+10:00Thanks for stopping by and for your helpful commen...Thanks for stopping by and for your helpful comments Cadry!!! I thought I should stick to grating tempeh for a while until hopefully I can get used to it. The hot sauce glazed tempeh sounds very tempting though, perhaps I will enjoy it if I use thin pieces of tempeh. I should try the Viva Vegan pot pie too as I love pot pies and adore Viva Vegan!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-68915644520442262502011-08-31T13:18:51.143+10:002011-08-31T13:18:51.143+10:00I like tempeh, but I'd still rather have tofu,...I like tempeh, but I'd still rather have tofu, beans, or seitan. There's something about its fermented flavor that can turn me off sometimes. I go through phases with tempeh. At first I didn't like it. Then I loved it. Now I prefer tempeh when it has been soaking in a strong marinade. My favorite way to have it is the hot sauce glazed tempeh from Veganomicon. It's so spicy and flavorful, the heat and texture weighs more heavily than the tempeh-ness of the dish. My second favorite cooking method is tempeh bacon in a BLT from Vegan Table. From Viva Vegan, you might like the Tempeh Pot Pie. If you break the tempeh down as much as possible (maybe even using a cheese grater to get it really small), it gives a satisfying texture without being the dominant flavor. <br /><br />After hearing about your reaction to Vegan Dad's burger, I look forward to trying it out for myself!Cadryhttp://www.cadryskitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-11242217824655570632011-08-26T21:37:39.057+10:002011-08-26T21:37:39.057+10:00Thanks for the link Johanna!

It's interesting that you say it doesn't always enthuse you.<br /><br />I was pretty relieved to finally enjoy a recipe Cindy. Perhaps the tempeh has been cut too thick the times I haven't really enjoyed it which hasn't helped. I might have to get the cheese slicer out next time which I also use to slice tofu for tofu bacon.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-90389028916584265862011-08-25T11:57:44.213+10:002011-08-25T11:57:44.213+10:00I'm glad you found these burgers after so many...I'm glad you found these burgers after so many disappointing tempeh attempts! I was ambivalent about tempeh for years before eventually developing a taste for it. Like Johanna, I reckon that frying thin slices to crispness with a glaze (soy sauce, lemon/lime juice, maple syrup... whatever you're into) is the easiest way in.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-51074634420378217722011-08-24T22:27:56.628+10:002011-08-24T22:27:56.628+10:00I know how you feel about tempeh.

The way it has worked best for me is when you fry it and glaze it so it is both crispy and full of flavour - though I also loved it in a corn soup - instead of giving you the links, I will give you the link to a recent post asking for tempeh ideas that had some links you might want to follow up (including mine) http://thestonesoup.com/blog/2011/08/8-unusual-sources-of-veggie-protein-a-lentil-balls-recipe/Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.com
