Tiba Tempeh TLT

Tiba Tempeh TLT.

That’s tempeh, lettuce and tomato. Or, our take on plant-based bacon. We’ve been playing with lots of recipes recently and found one that really works.

Make yourself a bacon sarnie, a full English or chop it up and throw it on a carbonara. Whatever you do, never live without bacon. Plant-based of course…

Serves: 3

Cooking time: 15 mins

Ingredients

Marinade ingredients

2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Sandwich ingredients

Tiba Tempeh Traditional Block 200g
Thick and fluffy bread, sliced
Tomato, sliced
Lettuce
Ketchup, brown sauce or mayo (your choice)

Method

Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
Slice the tempeh into thin strips.
Marinate the tempeh slices for at least 5 mins (the longer you leave them, the deeper the flavour).
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and add the marinated tempeh, frying each side for 3 minutes until nice and crispy.
Build your scrumptious sandwich with your smoky tempeh ‘bacon’ and your remaining ingredients.
