Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Finely chopped small onion
  • Minced garlic cloves
  • 1 package of spicy tempeh, grated into coarse pieces (8 ounces)
  • A generous 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp of taco seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp of dried oregano
  • A pinch of optional ground red pepper

Step 1

Begin by heating oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion in the sizzling oil until it starts to soften, which should take around 5 minutes. Introduce the garlic and keep cooking until its aroma fills the air, typically 1 to 2 minutes. Next, mix in the grated tempeh, ensuring to sauté until it turns a lovely golden brown, roughly 5 minutes.

Step 2

Now, gently pour vegetable broth into the pan with the tempeh blend, then lower the heat to a simmer. Time to add a burst of flavor with taco seasoning, a sprinkle of oregano, and a dash of ground red pepper. Keep stirring the mix occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it fresh: Store your tempeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out.
  2. 2. Marinate for flavor: For a flavor-packed tempeh taco experience, marinate your tempeh in a delicious blend of spices, herbs, and sauces. Store it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
