Introduction

Serve on whole-wheat buns with plenty of veggies, and you'll have a BBQ meal that even a meat lover will crave again and again.

Ingredients

8 oz tempeh

1 small onion

1 cup BBQ sauce



Tempeh is made from soybeans that have first been soaked, hulled and partially cooked. An acidic liquid like vinegar is added to create an environment that a certain kind of fungus likes, then a fermentation starter is added. The beans ferment in a warm area for about a day and a half. The beans are bound together, and you're left with a block of protein that's ready to be broiled, baked or steamed.

The fermentation helps break down the oligosaccharides, which are the sugars that can cause gas. The protein becomes more digestible after fermentation, too.

When crumbled or grated, tempeh has the texture of ground meat. Try it in tacos, spaghetti sauce or chili. It has a slightly sour, nutty flavor that pairs well with big, strong flavors like curry, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and teriyaki sauce.

Directions

1.) Cut block of tempeh into 3 strips and dice onion. Place onion and tempeh in shallow baking dish with BBQ sauce. Place in refrigerator and allow tempeh to marinate for several hours.

2.) Cover with foil and bake in 350 F oven for 30 minutes.

Makes 3 servings (approx 3 ounces each.)
