TEMPEH "CHICKEN" SALAD



Tempeh

For those of you who have never tried it, tempeh is a made from fermented soybeans that have been pressed into firm cakes. It has a "nutty" and meaty texture, and, like tofu, it absorbs flavors of surrounding ingredients really well. Tempeh is a very popular "meat" alternative for vegetarian cooks. The first step in this recipe has you poach the tempeh in boiling water, which mellows out the flavor a bit, and makes it a bit more digestible. This is yet another recipe from, my favorite: The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook.

Provided by Kozmic Blues

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces tempeh, cubed
1 stalk celery, minced
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, minced
1 large dill pickle, minced
2 -3 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup soy mayonnaise or 1/2 cup regular mayonnaise (more or less to taste)
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (spicy golden brown is nice too)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the cubed tempeh in a saucepan of boiling, salted water.
  • Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 12 minutes, drain and set aside to cool.
  • I usually toss it in the fridge.
  • In a large bowl, combine the celery, pepper, pickle, scallion and parsley.
  • Run a knife through the cubed tempeh, just to give it a rough chop (optional, the cubes work fine too) Add chopped tempeh to the bowl, along with the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon, salt and pepper.
  • Fold everything together, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  • This will keep covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • This salad goes great on wheat toast, in a pita pocket, or in a lavash wrap.

  • Preheat oven to 400 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the tofu into about 8 equal slices, and then cut those slices in half. Place two paper towels (one on top of the other) or a clean tea towel on the counter and place the tofu slices on top. Cover with two more paper towels or tea towel. Gently press each slice of tofu until the towels are saturated with water. Replace the towels on top with another layer and press until most of the water is pressed out of the tofu. Place the tofu on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Mix the broth, soy sauce or tamari, thyme, sage, and pepper. Pour half of it over each slice of tofu. Turn the tofu over and pour the remaining liquid over it. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until tofu is beginning to brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet.
  • Once the tofu is cool, tear each piece into small, irregular pieces. (You can also cut it, but it looks more natural if you tear it and somehow tastes better, too.) Place it in a medium mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Mix well, and add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until completely chilled. Serve in sandwiches, on top of salad, or rolled into lettuce leaves or tortillas.

  • Bring chicken-style vegetable broth to a boil. (In a pinch, you can also use plain water; it’ll be less savory but still delicious! You’ll just need to add extra salt to the mixture.) Add soy curls, making sure they’re fully immersed. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare your other ingredients.
  • Drain soy curls and allow to sit until cool enough to handle. Using a clean tea towel, cheesecloth, or a nut milk bag (my preferred method), wring out as much excess liquid from the soy curls as possible. Roughly chop soy curls and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine. The salt content varies from brand to brand of vegetable broth and mayo, so give the salad a taste and adjust seasoning to preference.

  • If you're using chickpeas (might be my favorite but I like it both ways!) then drain and rinse both cans of chickepas. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork until it looks like canned tuna. If you're using tofu, press the tofu using a tofu press to remove the excess moisture. If you don't have a tofu press, no worries, neither do I! Just follow the pressing instructions in the notes below. Once pressed, dice the tofu into very small cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In the large mixing bowl with either the tofu or chickpeas, add the remaining chicken salad ingredients. Mix well and then add the mayo, vegan yogurt, mustard, chopped herbs, and lemon juice. Mix again until well coated. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve on your favorite toasted bread with lettuce and tomato, or with crackers and cucumber slices on the side.

  • Thaw the frozen tofu or defrost in the microwave oven. Place a slice of thawed tofu between your hands over the sink and press out as much water as possible. Repeat for all of the tofu. For more detailed instructions on using frozen tofu, refer to this recipe for frozen sliced tofu. Place four slices of pressed tofu on a cutting board and chop into small pieces. Repeat for the remaining four pieces.
  • Dice and measure the celery and red bell pepper. You will need about one large stalk of celery and one-third of a large red bell pepper. I usually cut the celery lengthwise into thin strips and then chop across the strips into small pieces. Use the same procedure for the bell pepper.
  • Place the chopped tofu in a large bowl. Add the sweet relish and chopped hard boiled egg. Add the 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried summer savory, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Gently stir everything together until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Keep in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use. This chicken salad should keep for at least four or five days in the refrigerator.

  • Once tofu is cool, tear into bite sizes pieces. I find that tearing creates better chunks rather than chopping into cubes, but do whatever is easiest for you.
