Recipe of the week as the weather cools down

RECIPE FOR THE CHANGING SEASON:

This is yummy and warming and easy to make - a perfect dinner dish

served with brown rice or millet or over wholegrain noodles of your

choice with a side of broccoli. So little preparation, so quick and

have leftovers over sourdough wholegrain toast the next day for lunch.

Enjoy!

SAVOURY TEMPEH OR TOFU

1 cup ready to eat tofu or tempeh cut into thin slices*

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon organic mustard (wet - I like the new eden valley in the

yellow squeeze bottle)

1 Tablespoon unrefined sesame oil - regular or toasted

1 Tablespoon sauerkraut (Eden Valley or similar from health food shop

or Peaches in Fremantle)

1 Tablespoon mirin (Spiral brand)

1/2 cup filtered water

1-2 teaspoons shoyu (use less if using seasoned tofu or tempeh)

1/2 cup fresh or frozen green peas (or try broccoli if prefer)

Heat a frying pan on a low flame. Add the oil and turn up the heat.

Saute the onions for a couple of minutes, then add the tofu or tempeh

for another couple of minutes. Add just enough water to cover the

bottom of the pan. Then add the sauerkraut, mirin and mustard and mix

through. Season with the shoyu. Cover and cook for approximately 5

minutes. Add the peas and cook a couple more minutes.

*If you would like to use regular tempeh (not the Tally-Ho Ready-to-Eat

variety which contains a lot of oil), then simply steam it for 25-30

minutes with a light sprinkle of shoyu or you can pressure cook for the

same amount of time with 1/2 cup of water and 1 Tbsp. shoyu and an inch

of kombu. Then it is ready to add to any recipe calling for tempeh

where there is minimal further cooking. Remember, tempeh must be well

cooked. The lightly-fried tofu would be nice in this dish as well.
