Recipe by Better Nature
20 Minutes
Serves:
2
ingredients
- 1 pack of Better Nature’s Organic Tempeh
BBQ Marinade:
- 100 - 150 ml of home-made or store-bought BBQ Marinade
Coleslaw:
- 1/2 small red cabbage
- 1/2 red onion
- 2 - 3 tbsp plant-based yogurt
- 1 lime (juice)
- 1 tsp agave or maple syrup (or honey)
- salt & pepper to taste
Garnish (optional):
- spring onion
- sesame seeds
- lime wedge
instructions
- Begin by cutting the tempeh block lengthways into a few, long pieces. Marinate the tempeh pieces overnight in the fridge. If you don't have time, you can also marinate the tempeh on the day of cooking.
- Slice the red cabbage & red onion into thinly sliced half moons. In a mixing bowl add the agave (or maple syrup or honey), lime juice and yogurt. Add the thinly sliced cabbage and onion into bowl and mix well. Season to taste.
- Set the skillet or barbecue to a medium heat (this is to ensure the marinade does not burn but rather caramelises). Add the tempeh to the barbecue, rotating side every 1 1/2 minutes until there is a nice char on the surface of the tempeh. Coat the surface with additional marinade as the tempeh cooks. Once a sticky but charred crust has formed on the surface, remove from the barbecue.
- Garnish with some thinly sliced spring onion and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy.
