So, since I can't eat gluten, Justin and I have been on the hunt for faux-meat that doesn't have wheat gluten. It is essentially non-existent, so we came up with our own. To my enjoyment, it is way more kick-ass than any fake bacon I have ever had! It is way better after it is frozen and then cooked.
1 package Tempeh (we prefer Trader Joe's 3-Grain Tempeh)
2 Tbsp Tamari
2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp Natural Smoke Flavor
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Vinegar
1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Beef Flavor mixed with 1/4 Cup Hot Water
1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Flavor mixed with 1/4 Cup Hot Water
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Smoked Salt
Slice the tempeh into strips as thin as you can manage. Mix both bouillons with the hot water. Mix all remaining liquids and the bouillon. Pour into shallow pan. Lay the tempeh strips into the pan and let them soak for about half an hour. Lay strips individually into freezer paper- I end up rolling them up into the paper like a burrito. Place the roll of freezer paper into a ziplock and freeze. Pull out pieces individually as needed. Fry them up in some olive oil for facon-y goodness!
