1 package Lightlife Tempeh
Polenta
Flax egg *3tbs water to 1 tbs. Flax Seeds blended
bbq TM Sauce
Vermouth
Make the flax egg in a small blender, add water slowly. Slice tempeh in half. In a small steel pan coat the tempeh with the flax egg and roll in polenta on counter and coat well with polenta.
In a cast iron skillet heat oil and garlic, add the tempeh and brown on both sides, after it has browned add a splash of vermouth and reduce covered with lid, add bbq sauce and sear a little again with both sides. Slice thin and serve on a bed of mashed potatoes. Side of greens.
Not sure why but I’m not a huge fan of tempeh, but this turned out so tasty, I think the vermouth really kicked in the flavors. And this bbqTM sauce is out of this world! Crispy and melt in your mouth tasty. I promise you’ll LOVE this.
