BBQ “Pulled” Tempeh & Carrot Sandwich
Yields 2 sandwiches
1 8-ounce package tempeh
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons minced red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, grated
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Extra barbecue sauce for dressin’
Creamy Poppy Seed Coleslaw (recipe below)
2 whole wheat buns, toasted
Slice the tempeh into about 10 medium-sized strips. Place the tempeh into a steamer basket with a little water in the bottom. Steam for 10 minutes. If you don’t have a steamer basket, place the tempeh directly into a little water in a saucepan and heat for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the shredded carrot and sauté for about 5 more minutes or until carrot is soft.
Crumble the steamed tempeh into the skillet and brown for about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and continue to cook for about 1 minute. Remove from heat. To assemble, divide the tempeh over the bottoms of two toasted buns. Top with extra sauce and coleslaw and the tops of the bun halves.
