This is how I am currently putting the b in my blt:
Smoky Tempeh Slices
- 4 ounces tempeh, sliced thinly
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (the thin, cheap kind)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 5 tablespoons water
Mix together liquid ingredients. Heat an 8-inch cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange tempeh slices in a single layer in pan (if you need to go up the sides a little, or overlap slightly that's okay). Pour the wet stuff over tempeh. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, and tempeh is browned.
Makes enough sweet smoky protein for two smallish sandwiches.
