Tempeh Bacon Delight

This recipe is inspired by "Vegan With a Vengeance". On page 22 she has a kickin' recipe for tempeh bacon which I have made a hundred times,but I have modified it quite a bit according to stuff I usually have on hand. You definitely have to plan ahead with this recipe because it tastes best if you let it marinate for a while. 10 am this morning:

I sliced a block of tempeh in half and each half into twelfths. Whisk together:

• 3 Tbs soy sauce


• 1/3 c. pomegranate juice


• 1 Tbs cider vinegar


• 1Tbs ketchup


• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke


• 2 cracked and peeled cloves of garlic

I marinated for 8 hours-I would do it for at least 4. When the time is up heat 2 Tbs. oil in a frying pan. Fry the slices over medium high heat for 4 mins on first side. Flip,add rest of marinade ,cover and cook about 3 more mins. If you need more time to brown them up,cook a little longer. VOILA! Delicious tempeh bacon.

Ry made a wrap with a little of this heavenly stuff(a definite staple in our house):

I made mine into a salad with a nice big plop of guac on it.

Dinner is served!
