BBQ Tempeh

An easy summer trick: marinate whole tempeh cakes in your favorite BBQ sauce, grill and slice!Serve with your favorite BBQ sides. I served this with sautéed/steamed broccoli and yellow squash with a bit of garlic. Happy summer :)

Ingredients

• (2) 8oz Traditional Tootie’s Tempeh
• 10oz BBQ Sauce - I like TJ’s Kansas City Style
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

1. Combine the ingredients in a large enough container that fits the tempeh cakes
2. Coat the tempeh in the marinade and marinate the cakes for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. Halfway through, turn the cakes to ensure an even coating
3. Take the cakes out of the marinade and place them on a medium/high grill. Spoon some additional marinade onto the top of the cakes while grilling..
4. After 4-6 minutes, using a metal spatula, turn the cakes. You want to caramelize the cakes and should see grill marks, but be careful not to burn them.
5. Spoon more marinade onto the top of the cakes and cook for an additional 4 minutes
6. Serve with your favorite BBQ sides.
