| This is delicious over pasta with marinara sace or as a pizza topping. It's also good as a burrito filling or served for breakfast alongside scrambled tofu. |
|
Equipment:
saute pan
Ingredients
8 oz package tempeh
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried margoram or oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of 1/2 a lemon
Directions
In a saute pan, crumble the tempeh and add enough water to almost cover it. Over high heat, steam the tempeh until most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Drain the remaining water and add the rest of the ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. |

Absolutely amazing! Thank you, I find those packaged veggie sausages tiresome, this was easy and delicious and went well with the scrambled tofu. |

This was my first time using tempeh. Really good. I put it in a pasta bake. |

I can't believe how good this turned out. I didn't have fennel. Also, I used cayenne pepper instead of red pepper flakes, and a little ACV in place of lemon juice. It was still delicious. I will never make another breakfast burrito with out it. Thank you :) |

We used frozen (and thawed) tofu and only 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice: very good! |

I love this! I made the gravy in Isa's book and I also used this in another recipe calling for sausage (some spanish thing). Good! |

This was really good.. The taste of the lemon and fennel together were super and I've never had tempeh in this consistency before.. I may have chosen a different name then 'sausage' since it didn't really look like that... |

This was so fab, I've made it 4 nights in a row. I added vegan worchestershire sauce last night, and thought it tasted good. But I add vegan worchestershire to everything. |

Wow. It was a tug-of-war with my brain - eat pizza with tempeh soysauge crumbles until I puke or take a moment to write a glorious review of this yummy topping. I'll spare you the gore and get to the point. Delicious! And it even held it's own when topped with loads of melty nutritional yeast cheese from the farm cookbook! Quite the feat. There was literally about 1 1/2 T left in the pan after I topped our pizzas and my boyfriend pulled out he storage container to save it! That says something. |

My husband and I love the tempeh sausage crumbles on our pizza, especially with fennel, potato, and pesto. It's really quick and easy with great texture and flavor. |
