Unforgettable Balsamic BBQ Tempeh
This was one of the most satisfying meals I’ve ever made and the coolest thing about it is that the extent of my cooking simply involved cutting a few things and opening a bottle.
So the tempeh that got left out of the previous post made it’s way into this one (I used flax tempeh). First I steamed it for about 10 minutes. I cut up some green beans and portobello mushrooms then along with the tempeh coated everything in Follow Your Heart’s “Unforgettable Balsamic Barbecue Sauce“. I covered with foil, let cook for 15 minutes, removed the foil, stirred and let cook uncovered for another 15 minutes.
This sauce is the bomb… seriously finger lickin’ good. The balsamic vinegar takes the BBQ flavor to a whole new level, it’s slightly spicy too (I think there are mild and spicy versions). The tempeh and veggies came out cooked perfectly, with the tempeh getting just slightly crispy around the edges. It was served with quinoa which I cooked along with some fresh crushed garlic, dried onion flakes, dried sage and fresh parsley.
Pick the sauce up if you can find it near you or order it directly from Follow Your Heart. You can thank me later.
