Tempeh Sausage Crumbles Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a pot with the tempeh, using just enough water to cover.
• Bring this to a boil, lower to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, removing the teabags after 4 minutes.
• In a dry pot toast the fennel and peppercorns, then grind them. In a medium sized bowl combine with the other herbs and garlic.
• Drain the tempeh, and when cool enough to handle crumble and mix gently with the spices.
• In a medium sized cast-iron skillet heat the olive oil and cook the onions until tender.
• Add the tempeh mixture and cook until browned and crispy at the edges.

Steps:

• Place the cubes of tempeh in a steamer basket, steam for 15 minutes, and set aside to cool.
• Using your fingers, crumble the steamed tempeh into a bowl.
• Add the basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, fennel, thyme, pepper flakes, and pepper to the tempeh and toss well to coat.
• Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.
• Lightly oil or line a cookie sheet or tray with waxed paper, and set aside.
• Using a 1/4 cups measuring cup to portion the sausages, lightly fill it with the tempeh mixture and gently pack it into the cup with the back of a spoon. Flip the measuring cup over on to the tray and give it a tap to release the patty.
• Form the mixture into 10 patties and chill for 1 hour.
• Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with a little safflower oil. In batches, cook the tempeh sausages until well browned on each side, about 5-7 minutes per side.
• Add more oil to the pan, if needed, to prevent the sausages from sticking.
• **You can make these sausages in larger batches and freeze them for later use. Then simply reheat them in the oven or in a nonstick skillet until heated through.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the first 9 ingredients (through salt). Pour the boiling water over the mixture.
• Pour in the textured soy protein, mix with a fork, and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Taste to see if more seasonings need to be added.
• Put oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add mixture, and fry until well browned. (you may need to add extra oil if the pan becomes too dry.
