Steps

1. Saute onion and garlic in a skillet in a small amount of water until soft, about 5 minutes.

2. Add crumbled tempeh and cook for another 5 minutes until it is slightly brown. Add small amounts of water if needed to prevent sticking.

5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Serve on buns.

Tips

Tempeh is made of soybeans (like tofu, but with a very different texture and taste) so this recipe is full of protein. Every time you get your protein from plant-based foods--whole grains, nuts, and beans of all kinds--you’re taking good care of your health and helping care for Creation!
