Jerk Tempeh

This dish is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside - delish!!

Ingredients

• 1 8 oz packet of Tootie's Tempeh
• Cole slaw (cabbage, carrots, green onions, and rice with your choice of dressing)

Marinade

• 1/3 cup white onions coarsely, chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 scotch bonnet pepper, stems and seeds removed; chopped (or habaneros)
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Jamacian Jerk Seasoning powder (we used Gryffon Ridge)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup tamari
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 inch fresh ginger

Instructions

1. Cut the tempeh in half, then cut each block in half and then again in half lengthwise so you have 8 rectangles about 1/4" thick.
2. For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend together until smooth.
3. Place tempeh rectangles into a shallow container and pour the marinade on top, turning the tempeh over so that both sides are covered. Marinate for at least an hour, overnight if you can.
4. Grill or pan fry the tempeh rectangles until blackened on both sides. Then cut them in half into strips.
5. Serve over a cole slaw (cabbage, carrots, green onions, and rice with your choice of dressing), and enjoy!
