Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 * Exported from MasterCook * Tempeh on Rye (with variation) Recipe By : Serving Size : 3 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Vegetarian Cooking for Everyon Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 8-10 oz package tempeh 1 large clove garlic -- thinly sliced 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried dill 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed 1 bay leaf 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon soy sauce salt & freshly milled pepper 6 slices light rye bread 3 slices Swiss cheese 1 cup sauerkraut -- drained and warmed prepared horseradish and mustard Cut the tempeh crosswise in half, the cut each half piece into 3 very thin slabs. In a skillet wide enough to gold the tempeh in a single layer -- though this isn't absolutely crucial -- heat the garlic and oil over medium heat until the garlic begins to color. Add the tempeh pieces and turn them once to coast them with the oil, then add the paprika, dill, and simmer until the water has reduced to a glaze, about 20 minutes. (If it cooks down sooner, add more water as needed--tempeh does need to cook.) Allow the tempeh to fry for several minutes in the oil that remains in the pan, turning it a few times. Taste a corner, then season with salt, if needed, and more pepper. Toast the bread. Lay the cheese on 3 slices and broil until it begins to melt. Add the tempeh and sauerkraut. Cover the rest of the bread with horseradish and mustard, cover the sandwiches, and serve. VARIATION: TLT -- Tempeh, Lettuce & Tomato: Prepare the tempeh strips in a Smoky Molasses Marinade (page 608) or use commercially prepared bacon-like tempeh. Cover toasted bread with mayonnaise, regular or tofu-based, and add crisp lettuce, the tempeh, and thick slices of tomato. Season with salt & pepper, close the sandwich, and serve. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 682 Calories; 46g Fat (59.8% calories from fat); 48g Protein; 22g Carbohydrate; 2g Dietary Fiber; 104mg Cholesterol; 1163mg Sodium.
