Yield: 4 Servings

Tempeh Kebabs

  • 8 oz tempeh (soy)

  • 1 green pepper

  • 1 sweet red pepper

  • 1 medium onion

  • 1 zucchini

  • 2 apples or star fruit

    • Marinade

  • 1 1/2 cups apple juice

  • 6 Tbsp cider vinegar

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

  • 2 Tbsp ginger root, grated

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot

    • Cut tempeh and vegetables into 3/4-inch chunks. Cut fruit into thick slices. In a glass or stainless steel pan, spread everything out, one layer thick.

    Whip together the marinade ingredients using either the microwave method or stovetop method (as indicated).

    Microwave method: In a glass bowl, microwave marinade on high power for six minutes, stopping to whip every two minutes.

    Stovetop method: In a saucepan, heat marinade over medium heat, stirring constantly until it boils and starts to thicken. Reduce heat and simmer for two to three minutes.

    Pour marinade over tempeh and vegetable chunks. Marinate in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

    Preheat oven or grill to 400 degrees.

    Arrange tempeh and vegetables on skewers; then arrange on a pan or on the grill. Brush with marinade and broil or grill for 15 to 20 minutes on each side or until browned. Serve kebabs on a bed of brown rice, noodles or grains. Heat remaining sauce and pour over top of kebabs.
