I would probably make this, i've had tempeh before just never made it at home.

What exactly is it made out of.
I have been looking for more protein sources that aren't soy based... what about this one?

ella-
tempeh is made from soy, but it is fermented. the fermentation process, in a way, rids the soy of the things that some people say is harmful.

another great way to put tempeh in your diet is fakin' bacon. it's basically smoked tempeh, but it is so delicious. i know meat eaters who rave about it too. give me a fakin' bacon blt anyday.

ps - it can be hard to find sometimes, but i do know that whole foods carries it and it freezes really well so stock up if you find it

no thanks!

I love tempeh! One of my favorite things is to make a "Tempeh Reuben" -- cook strips of tempeh, layer on rye bread with sauerkraut, swiss cheese (can use soy swiss cheese if avoiding dairy) and a little ketchup mixed with soy dill creamy dressing. Mmm!

so it has a meatier taste/consistency than soy?

Thanks Mary Grace.
I read a great article that said that eating a balanced diet of soy and weigh can actually be very healthy, they balance each other. Now I know that Whey is a milk protein, but it has to be in many other things other than milk & chalky powder.
I'm trying to find many things to add to the diet that include soy as well as weigh.
Soy is very popular, hoping that whey gets treated that way too.

Thanks for the info.

If you can't have soy but can have wheat, try seitan.

Tempeh is one of my favorite meat substitutes. I love the slightly nutty flavor.

I got a Vegan cookbook the other day and it had a lot of recipes for this. It is titled: Vegan with a Vengeance. I returned it because I don't know where to get Tempeh (or seitan).

I like tofu better.

i love that lightlife tempeh. i like the smokey style kind on a sandwich with food for life bread and tomato, spinach and avocado. good stuff.

Thanks for this recipe. I'm not crazy about tempeh, but because I'm a vegetarian, I'm looking to start eating tempeh to avoid those "bad" things about soy. Substituting tempeh in my tofu recipes hasn't been cutting it though, and this sounds so easy and yummy. I can't wait to try it.

Can't say I've ever had it...
