Maple Grilled Tempeh Recipe


From the 101cookbooks blog by Heidi Swanson. A grill tray makes this easy to cook without losing all the little pieces into the fire. Serves 2-4.

8 ounces tempeh
3 TB soy sauce (Heather prefers shoyu sauce)
3 TB maple syrup
1 tsp rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped
1/2 tsp powdered chipotle (or a couple pinches of cayenne)
1/2 cup sliced shitake mushrooms
2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice or grain of your choice
a generous handful of green beans

Garnish: fresh herbs of your choice, crumbled feta cheese

Cut the tempeh diagonally into 4 triangles. If possible, thin those triangles out by slicing each in half horizontally - 8 triangles total. Set the tempeh aside while you make the maple marinade by combining the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Reserve a few tablespoons of the marinade to use later as a drizzle.

Place the pieces of tempeh and mushrooms in a large baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the tempeh. Make sure the tops and bottoms of tempeh are coated and marinate for anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 days, flipping occasionally. Toss in the beans to coat with marinade just before grilling.

Grill the tempeh, mushrooms and beans on a medium hot grill for a few minutes brushing all the while with the marinade remaining in the bottom of the baking dish. When the tempeh is a toasted, deep, maple-y, golden brown remove and serve over a bed of warmed quinoa (or rice). Drizzle with the reserved marinade.

Nutrition is directly linked to the health and sustainability of any region. In Craftsbury, Vermont, Pete’s Greens has proven that organic farming can work year-round, offering fresh vegetables at any time of year. This approach helps communities become less dependent on imported produce and builds a stronger foundation for a future where quality food is part of the lifestyle, not the exception. However, modern life is full of contradictions. People strive for natural products and care about the well-being of their families, but at the same time, they often indulge in activities that carry certain risks. A clear example can be seen in the fact that interest in gambling continues to grow, despite all the warnings about the possible consequences. This topic is discussed in detail on the sitetorontomike.com, where it is discussed why online gambling continues to attract people’s attention despite its unsafety. On the one hand, the organic farm Pete’s Greens demonstrates how one can take a step towards health and harmony with nature. On the other hand, habits and temptations like gambling remind us that the choice is always ours. Ultimately, it is the mindfulness of our actions that shapes the future – whether it is the decision to eat more local vegetables or to be smart about our online entertainment.
