Kid-Friendly Vegetarian Recipes: Organic Vegan Tempeh Sloppy Joes

tempehI’ve been on a tempeh buying kick lately, which has forced us to dig through our cookbooks and memories for good tempeh recipes.  Tempeh is less processend than tofu, and thus it is healthier and higher in protein.   We tend to eat a lot of tofu, so adding tempeh into our diet helps us cook beyond our usual meals.  Of course, organic ingredients are a must!

Organic Vegan Tempeh Sloppy Joes

Saute:

  • 3 Tablespoons oil
  • 2 diced green peppers
  • 1 diced large onion

Add and simmer for 20 minutes:

  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1 package of tempeh crumbled
  • 3 large chard leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce, Bragg’s liquid aminos, or tamari
  • 1 Tablespoon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar

Server hot over organic buns.

    Spicey is a fave here, and we’ve found when we use them with either tofu OR tempeh in our ‘Dare to Compare/gross out games for good nutrition, kids SWEAR it’s meat…it’s hilarious to do the ‘reveal’ at the end of the session. We get a lot of converts to ‘give it a go’ using the ‘Fear Factor’ technique…so I’ll try it out on our crew, thanks.
