Tempeh is a chewy, rich flavored soybean cake that comes in various flavors.

It can also contain

grains such as quinoa, rice, or barley. It's great marinated and grilled, or

in stews and chilis.

Tempeh can be found in health food stores.

 

2 tsp. olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup diced carrot

1 pkg. (8 oz.) tempeh, crumbled

2 cups canned crushed tomatoes in purée, undrained

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup bottled hot-and-spicy barbecue sauce

2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1/4 tsp. salt

8 (1-1/2 oz. ea.) whole wheat hamburger buns

and tempeh, and sauté for
