Two sandwiches

I have gotten a little behind. Last week I made two different recipes that would qualify for this challange. The first one was "TLT" and that would be Tempeh Lettuce and Tomato Sandwiches. What is tempeh? Well, it is some sort of soy product that is not processed as much as tofu. It is suppose to be better for you than tofu. It kind of has a nutty texture and it is good marinated. I can find it at the Ingles and it cost about $2-3 for half of a pound. A friend sugessted this recipe for tempeh bacon. The end result does not taste like bacon, but it is pretty tasty. First you slice the tempeh and marinade it:



Then you brown it on both sides:



Then just use it like bacon:



Tempeh is a wierd thing. At first it doesn't seem that it is all that good, nor is it all that bad. But the more you eat it, the more you like it. I ate leftovers of this bacon all week. The tomato turned into roasted red pepper and the lettuce turn into spincach, but still yummy. I even tried it in a collard green wrap.



I also made a veggie burger from my copy of vegan with a vengence. This recipe uses textured vegtable protein which I actually think is not good, but I had some so I needed to use it up. This was something that as I was making it....wasn't looking so good, but the end result was really tasty. Not sure if I would make it again. I really do like the bean based veggie burgers.
