Jerk Tempeh Recipe
2 packages (8 ounces each) tempeh, sliced in half crosswise
1 tablespoon lime juice
Jerk Seasoning:
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Combine all Jerk seasoning ingredients and mix well. Store covered until ready to use. Seasoning can be used on many different foods, especially chicken, fish and seafood.
Brush tempeh slices with lime juice and sprinkle with Jerk seasoning. Lightly press seasoning into tempeh slices. Grill tempeh over medium hot grill until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes on each side. Tempeh can also be roasted in a 425-degree oven for 20-30 minutes. Serve with black beans and rice.
Textured soy protein, often called TSP or TVP, is made from defatted soy flour that is compressed and processed into granules or chunks. When it is rehydrated with boiling water, it has a texture similar to ground beef. Tempeh is an Indonesian food made from the whole soy bean. It is fermented into a "cake" that can be eaten alone or added to soups and stews. Both TSP and tempeh are often used as a protein alternative in a vegetarian diet.
