Grilled Tempeh with BBQ Sauce

Serves 4

• Two 8-ounce packages tempeh – cut into 4 cutlets

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon water

• 1 tablespoon olive or coconut oil

• 8 slices whole grain bread or other bread of choice

• 8 lettuce leaves

• 1 large tomato, sliced

• 4 red onion slices

• 1 recipe BBQ Sauce (see below)

The BBQ Sauce

Makes 1 ½ cups

• 1 cup ketchup

• 3 tablespoons molasses or barley malt syrup, or 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke

• 1 teaspoon chile powder (try chipotle)

• 1 ½ teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 tablespoons water

• 1 teaspoon Dijon or stone ground mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the soy sauce, water and oil in a small dish and add the tempeh cutlets. Allow to marinate for 5 minutes, flipping a few times to evenly coat.

2. Place the tempeh and the marinade ingredients on a baking sheet and cook for 5 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

3. While the tempeh is baking, prepare the BBQ sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisking well. Pour some sauce over the tempeh while it is baking.

4. When the tempeh is finished cooking, place the cutlet on the sandwich with the remaining ingredients and as much BBQ sauce as you wish. You can store the extra sauce in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days

Variations

• Replace the tempeh with an equal amount of tofu.

• For BBQ Sauce variations – replace the ketchup with tomato paste and ¼ cup water.

• Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic or peeled and minced ginger to the tempeh marinade.

• Try serving on toasted sourdough, rye bread, or an artisan bread such as olive rosemary.
