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. Keep it fresh: Store your tempeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out.
- 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.
