  1. I think this is great! This was my second attempt at cooking tempeh. I love the marinade used for this. It leaves a slightly sweet flavor in the tempeh. I allowed my tempeh to soak overnight and was happy with that. Tempeh is not my husband's favorite, but it's so healthy and nutty I could eat it all of the time. I was so impressed with this marinade that I can imagine using it for tofu or meats. Thanks for posting, Bergy. I enjoyed this!
     
  2. This is a great, unique recipe- the flavors work great together. I sliced the tempeh into "slabs" to marinate for 4 hours, and it was a good size for sauteing and soaking up the marinade flavors. Definitely saute with seasonal veggies, as just the tempeh would be too plain for a main course.
     
  3. I made this for my sister and I, and while I hate to only give a one star review, neither of us could eat this. I followed the recipe to a T, and as the previous rater stated, the marinade smelled like a garlic margarita (in a good way!!), however, for me, the end result was inedible. There was a very strong "chemically" taste in the marinated tempeh that neither of us could get over. Maybe it was just bad tempeh? Hope others have better luck with this recipe.
     
  4. Yumm! Great flavor. It smelled like a garlic margarita! I ended up marinating for 4-5 hours, and the original pieces were small so by the time I cooked them they were basically crumbles. Next time I'll start out with larger pieces! I sauteed them in the some of the marinade, and it turned out great. Thanks for this tasty recipe, will make again. Can't wait to try it grilled!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
