Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 16 oz tempeh gluten-free
Marinade
- 2 cups vegan chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 cup white wine
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 8 fresh sage leaves
Gravy
- 1 cup white wine or vegan broth
- 1-2 tablespoon gluten-free flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 2 cups vegan chicken broth
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients together.
- Place tempeh in 9 x 12 casserole dish and cover with marinade. Marinate tempeh for 30 minutes or overnight (overnight is best to infuse the flavor into the tempeh). Strain marinade, save for the gravy.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place casserole dish with marinated tempeh into the oven for 45 minutes, turning tempeh after 20 minutes.
- Using a large fry pan melt vegan butter over medium-high heat. Add tempeh to pan and brown on both sides about 5-10 minutes. Pour in a little liquid while cooking if needed. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same fry pan make the gravy. To release the tempeh brown bits add in a little wine or broth. Now add in strained marinade and broth. Using either a bowl or mason jar add flour to milk and shake or stir until smooth. Slowly stir in plant-based milk and flour to the pan and bring to a rolling boil until it thickens. Taste, add salt, pepper and additional herbs if needed.
- Place warm tempeh on serving dish and top with gravy and fresh herbs.Serve immediately.
