Faux Chicken Sandwich recipe post-can be vegan and a thank you to Amy

[Guest guest]

I thank Amy for suggesting this cookbook and also telling me to try tempeh. I

used to run from it when I would see it in the deli by tofu.....LOL

I made this for my sandwich today and ate some last night on toast. It;s

wonderful. I can only find tempeh in 8 oz. size so you can cut this recipe in

1/2 if you use 8 oz. The cookbook is called " 3 Bowls Vegetarian Recipes from

an American Zen Buddhist Monastery. " My sister has photocopied several recipes

to try so I'll try to get food samples and post the recipes here.

 

" Faux Chicken Salad "

 

1 lb. tempeh

3 Tblspn. plus 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

4 scallions, thinly sliced

2 large celery ribs, chopped

1/2 to 3/4 cups mayo of your choice

1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning (I found it in the market in spice area)

Fresh lemon juice

Sea salt & freshly milled black pepper

 

Place tempeh in a medium saucepan with 4 cups cold water and 3 tablespoons of

the lemon juice. Bring to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20

mins. or until the tempeh is somewhat swelled. Drain and let cool.

Place the tempeh, scallions, celery, mayo and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl and

gently mix together. Season to taste with salt and pepper and the remaining 1/2

tsp. lemon juice. Refrigerate and serve cold.

 

Note* I steamed my tempeh and added 1/2 the lemon juice to water in steamer and

the other 1/2 of the lemon juice to the mix. When you steam the tempeh it

swells up also. I also added a few chopped walnuts to the mix and they gave it

a nice crunch.

blow your mind. "
