Avocado & Tempeh Rashers on Toast

• 1 x 200g Better Nature Organic Tempeh (or Better Nature Smoky Tempeh)
  (sliced lengthwise into 8 slices)
• 4 slices of sourdough bread
  (or any bread of your choice)
• 4-8 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 large ripe avocado
• 1 small lime
• 1 small red chilli (optional)
• 20g mixed leaves
• Dried chilli to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for cooking
  ‍

MARINADE FOR THE TEMPEH:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• Ground black pepper to taste

MARINADE METHOD:

Mix the marinade ingredients together in a container and add in the tempeh slices, turning them around a couple of times. Close the lid tightly and shake the container for a few seconds so that the marinade spreads evenly. Leave to marinate for 30min or if you’re ravenous, a few minutes of marinating will do.
