Ingredients

Instructions

  • Slice tempeh crosswise into ¼ inch thick slices and put onto a plate or baking dish.
  • Brush tempeh with water or vegetable broth to just moisten, flip and repeat.
  • Sprinkle liberally with Blackening Seasoning. Flip and repeat. 
  • Heat skillet to medium. Place in prepared strips, half at a time. Allow to  caramelize, adjusting heat as needed so they don’t burn, 2-3 minutes. Add a little water or vegetable stock if they start to stick. Flip and repeat, adding a little water or stock as needed. Flip two more times so both sides are blackened and caramelized.
  • Remove to plate and repeat with remaining slices. Serve as desired.

Notes

This is a great element for dinner as standalone main, in Cajun-Mexican fusion tacos,  wraps, sandwiches, on salads, crumbled into Dirty Rice, Jambalaya, or Gumbo. Very  versatile! 
Store in container in refrigerator 2-3 days.
