I definitely think this dinner was one for the record books. William had been saying he wanted something filling and hearty for dinner so I decided to try doing a couple recipes from happyherbivore.com, as well as a couple of my own. This time I cut the tempeh into just 2 pieces, which was delicious, but next time will do 4 to get extra breading on each one
Country Fried Tempeh Steak with Gravy, Mashed Cauliflower, and
Garlic Asparagus
(Serves 2 or 4)
County Fried Tempeh Steak
1 Package Tempeh (8oz)
2 Cups Water
1 Cube Bullion (I like "not-beef bullion" by Edward and Sons)
1 Cup Unbleached Flour
Various Seasonings for flour (Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Tony Chachere's, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder)
2 Cups SoyMilk
Oil for frying
*Cut Tempeh into 2 or 4 steaks.
*Soak Tempeh in Bullion dissolved in water for at least and hour and up to overnight
*Season Flour in a bowl with your choice of seasonings.
*Pat steaks dry. Dip in flour, then in soymilk, then back to flour again.
*Fry in a pan until golden brown on each side
Asparagus with Butter and Garlic
1 Bunch Asparagus
Water
1 Tbsp Earth Balance Butter
2 tsp. Chopped Garlic
*Put enough water in a pan to cover asparagus
*Bring water to a boil
*Add Asparagus to water and cook 2-3 minutes
*Drain Asparagus
*Put back in empty pan and add butter and garlic
*Cover with lid and toss to coat
*Serve Immediately

I can offically say that I love you. I openly admit to misisng some of the meats I ate as a young adult. And some of my transitioning recipes are great...some are not.
This one is going to be on my to do list. Yippee!
