This tempeh is spicy and succulent and would go well with mashed potatoes or baked sweet potatoes and some sauteed greens. If I'm using very thick pieces of tempeh then I like to boil it first to make it more tender and to get rid of the bitterness that is sometimes associated with tempeh.
My favorite way to make this is grilled but if you don't have a grill pan use the alternative broiling instructions. |

Equipment:
Ingredients
8 ounce package of tempeh
1/2 cup wine (whatever kind you've got on hand, just nothing sweet, or use vegetable broth and a touch of wine vinegar)
1/4 cup hot sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Bring a pot of water to boil.
Wkisk all marinade ingredients together in a bowl large enough to fit the tempeh slices.
Cut the tempeh in half widthwise then cut each of those squares diagonally to form 4 large triangles. When the water is boiling, add the tempeh, lower the heat and steam for 10 minutes.
Use tongs to remove the tempeh and then immediately place them in the marinade bowl for 1 hour, flipping them every now again to cover with the marinade.
Preheat a greased grill pan over medium high heat. To grease it, brush lightly with olive oil or if you have a spray bottle of olive oil, that works, too. (Get a spray bottle of olive oil already!)
Grill each side for 5 minutes. When the second side is almost done, spoon some of the marinade over the tempeh and let cook for 30 more seconds.
Alternative broiling instructions:
Preheat the oven broiler. Place tempeh in a rimmed pan (I like to use my cast iron pan for such purposes). Spoon some of the marinade over it and broil for 5 minutes. Flip it and spoon some more marinade over it and cook for another 5 minutes. When the second side is almost done, spoon some of the marinade over the tempeh and let cook for 30 more seconds. |

The marinade is super! I wasn't too sure what hot sauce was so I used Asian chili-garlic sauce with a splash of tabasco. The tempeh was really tender and yummy! |

This was really good! I used a really hot chili sauce, and it was quite spicy, so be careful with what sort of hot sauce you use if you like things mild. I ended up making a sandwich with it, next time I will cut the tempeh differently if I plan on doing this, as it fell apart a lot. It was still delicious, though! |
