Eat Your Veggies

Tempeh (tim-pay) is an excellent source of plant-based protein. This may sound weird, but it is made from fermented soybeans. The beans are still in pieces, having been chopped and then pressed into a patty. The patty is hearty and delicious. It’s a great cold-weather dish. In our house, we like to make BBQ tempeh by sauteing the tempeh in a frying pan and then smothering it with our favorite BBQ sauce. I have also had tempeh reubens as well as other types of sandwiches where the tempeh substitutes for meat.

Tempeh is often available in health food grocery stores. It can even be found cut in strips which are a good alternative for bacon. There are versions of tempeh with different whole grains added, too. Tempeh is usually found in the refrigerated produce section at the store. Give it a try, at least once, to discover a culinary delight.
