How it makes my heart sing when I can go to a regular restaurant and order one of my favourite fermented foods, tempeh. Now, when I say regular restaurant, I’m not talking about nonsense places with names like “Wings and Things”, or “Deep Fry It So You’ll Try It”. I mean restaurants where their overall values- eat organic, local, seasonal line up with my own.
I was over the rainbow excited to see a veg menu with tempeh on it. And this wasn’t the kind of tempeh you might find at most veg/vegan restaurants where it’s kind of just cooked to a crisp and served over a bowl of rice. This tempeh was prepared as if it were the leanest cut of gold labeled cow (do cows come with with gold labels?).
It was clear the chef had taken great care to create a tempeh recipe that could stand up to any of his other creations. It was served skewered with caramelized onions and mushrooms and every bite was so amazingly flavourful, we just couldn’t get enough.
And since we couldn’t get enough, I had to try and recreate this wondrous delight. That photo up there above is my own recipe creation, and yes, I know it looks a bit like dog food. Get over it, because it is amazing!
As was the rest of our farm fresh dinner that featured a watermelon salad, heirloom tomatoes, organic farm fresh edamame and organic sweet corn.
Now, don’t go thinking that’s how the man and I eat every night. How I wish it was. We are simply enjoying the last days of summer, out on our balcony, with farm fresh goodness before we both start working like crazies soon.
