Maple and Mustard Glazed Tempeh
Yields 2-4 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 package of tempeh
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- Some shelled pistachios for topping
- Some chopped scallions for topping
- A drizzle of oil for the pan
Directions
- Cut the tempeh into triangles—or any shape you might like, this is just for presentation—and place it in a steamer basket over a pot with boiling water. Cover it with a lid. Let the tempeh steam for 12 minutes.
- Remove the tempeh and pat it dry with a paper towel if needed. Place it in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, grainy mustard, balsamic vinegar, water, minced shallots, and garlic. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, and add a drizzle of oil.
- Place your tempeh pieces in the pan and heat until one side is golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Once the tempeh is golden brown, pour the maple mustard sauce on top, and let it reduce slightly.
- Remove from the pan and serve the tempeh topped with some of the sauce that’s still in the pan, the chopped pistachios and scallions, and your favorite sides. Enjoy!
