I revised the original recipe I found at http://delicioustv.com/2007/07/tempeh-club-sandwich
Ingredients:
1 package tempeh (250 gr.)
For marinade:
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tablespoon sweetener (I’d cut this to 1-1/2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon cumin
For salad/sandwich:
Lettuce, thinly sliced tomato, cucumbers and red onion
savory gallette to make wrap, (meaning you add interesting spices and no sweetener or extract)
mustard and pickle relish to spread on wrap
Directions:
Cut the tempeh into 4 and slice each piece through the center to create 8 thin rectangles (or squares, as the case may be–how does your tempeh grow?) Lay out in oil-sprayed pan and pour marinade over, cover and bake for 1/2 hour or so, then remove cover and let bake till marinade is fully absorbed, but tempeh is not dried out. Make galette concurrently if you wish to have the tempeh hot, although it is also good cold. Spread on mustard and pickle relish, and stuff with the salad fixins and a Dukan friendly dressing, if you wish–try our pickle or curry “salatim,” for example. Alternately, you can leave out the galette and just make it a tempeh salad. I hope you enjoy it as much as my husband did!
Tempeh Special:
Steam 3 carrots, 1 kohlrabi and/or 1 turnip and 2 zuchinni–I cut them up and put in steamer in that order, so the carrots get the longest time in the steamer. I like to cheat with a tablespoon or two of organic, whole grain tehina mixed with a little more water, so I make this mixture after adding the kohlrabi/turnip but before the zuchinni. Then, when the veggies are crisp/tender, I serve with the tempeh–and some tofu barbecued the same way, and the tehina sauce. It tastes far better than you imagine from reading the recipe–we first had what we called “Aluma Special” at the macrobiotic restaurant of that name here in Jerusalem, and decided to replicate it at home, where we generally serve it over brown rice— for those in your family who are not watching their weight or have already reached their goal weight and are consolidating, brown rice is an excellent carb which can replace a serving of wholegrain bread or be used as one of the two “starchy meals” allowed during Consolidation. Yet, the “Special” can stand alone without the rice too!
