The main ingredient, tempeh
What the heck is tempeh
Well, let me tell you. Tempeh is made from fermented soybeans that are formed into a firm loaf. It has a mild nutty mushroom flavor. Tempeh has a lot of protein and very little fat. The combination of its firm hearty texture and it’s mild flavors makes it the perfect meat substitute. Tempeh is complimented by any sauce, especially smoky and sweet sauces. Tempeh is a staple in vegetarian and vegan recipes. This savory brisket will soon become your new favorite.
Marinade, now gravy
This tempeh brisket marinade is no joke! The sauce infuses the tempeh making it tender and savory. It’s the perfect combination of tangy and sweet. Reminiscent of your favorite BBQ sauce but better. How to make a creamy gravy out of the marinade? Whisk in gluten free flour. Thicken just a bit. Pour the gravy over fluffy mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, quinoa, and of course the tempeh brisket.
Finding a way to make vegan and gluten free meals that are rich and savory isn’t as hard as some think. You are going to love this one!
