Tempeh is a soybean cake with a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. You can prepare the sauce and slice the vegetables and tempeh ahead of time. Ingredients:
1/3 cup ketchup |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce |
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 (8-ounce) package tempeh |
1 red bell pepper, cut in half |
1 yellow bell pepper, cut in half |
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices |
cooking spray |
4 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Combine first 9 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
3. Cut tempeh in half lengthwise; cut slices in half. Brush tempeh slices, bell peppers, and onion with the ketchup mixture. Place on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until the tempeh is thoroughly heated. Remove the tempeh, bell peppers, and onion from grill. Cut bell peppers into 1/2-inch-wide strips; separate onions into rings.
